Not a classic, but certainly on it's way to becoming obscure. I don't think that I ever saw one on the road before. It just looks weird. Why would you buy one instead of an X5?

"Still a nice car but looks too much like an A4, just larger scale"
 
Lucky that Audi had a good basic design at the time, the A4/A6/A8 were virtual triplets, except for size. Audi didn't take much grief for it, it seems.

I thinks it's for the highline SUV buyer who wants to play the "sport" masquerade above the others. It really is an odd thing, and in person it looks like it must weigh 10 tons.

I bet it's a labor of love to keep one of those going today.
 
The SWB versions are especially like a larger A4.

ca. 1991 Mitsu Galant VR4 - the loaded high tech model that must suffer from both unobtanium parts and mechanical maladies, as they are virtually extinct now.
 
I dunno; they're basically the same drivetrain as the AWD turbo Eclipse and there are plenty of DSM parts out there.

Hmmm...maybe they just attracted less than careful ownership, kind of like most of the DSM coupes

The relationship with Chrysler didn't really do Mitsubishi much good in the end, did it?
 
Too bad, Mitsubishis are now very good cars.

I ran some errands in my '76 LeMans, and drove some back roads. Spotted a 1974 or so Corvette in a driveway, and a '66 T-bird landau, on jackstands, in another. Primer gray, looking a bit forlorn, and with a for sale sign in the window.
