Not that exciting but I've never seen one of these but as soon as I walked by it I knew exactly what kind of car it was, and confirmed by the steering wheel on the wrong side.

I had to actually look up with this is and it's a bit more special than I thought. @UtahJoe and @serviceguy

Mitsubishi wagon based on the final generation Galant. Buddy of mine had a 1992 VR4 Galant sedan (#199 out of 1000) and it had AWD, 4WS with a turbo 4 that - for the time - made for quite the understated rocket. Would have been nice if they brought that wagon over here but as we know, ‘Merica is so crazy for SUV’s that wagons are all but dead.

My first car was my parent’s 1978 Galant. They were sold stateside as the Dodge Colt Sigma. As I recall they did sell a wagon version of it here for a while.

Station wagon version of the grv4, I believe one more iteration of the solid Mitsubishi 4g63 engine, same as the one rotting in my backyard while I’m trying to figure out what do with it…I think those were sold in Japan and Australia, probably a Wikipedia search away, rare find but not that misterious…

That's awesome - my first car was my parents' Plymouth Cricket 4dr!
Different car than yours, and a much different ending - three model years, 2 production runs for US
It was a Hillman Avenger (British car gremlins), which became the Colt in Canada in 1974ish.
Left side steering wheel 🙂
The wagon version never made it to the states.

These two makes me feel proud that my first car was a 76 Datsun B210. About a year into ownership it was burning more oil than gas.
