A car of awe and legend made by Mitsubishi before the 9th generation ruined its reputation since 2004. The word "galant" is taken from French, means "beau" or "chivalrous." Galant was designed as a mid-size family sedan to compete with such cars as Accord or Camry.

There is also a sport version known as Galant VR4. The 6th generation Galant VR4 is the prototype of Evo. The 7th and 8th generation VR4s are not street legal in the US. 9th generation sporty Galant, the Ralliart version (6G75 MIVEC engine) is not cost-efficient when comes to tuning.

A 2.4 liter Galant with a 4G64 engine is a perfect platform to swap Evo's 4G63T engine, not mentioning the 4G64 block can fit into 4G63T and make it more boost-loving. This is a decent way if you want to build a Galant sleeper.
Gearhead: I'm planning to buy a used Evo after I got my year-end bonus.
Dad: What you really need is a commuter car. An Evo will only distract you and waste your hard-earned money.
Gearhead: You're right. Then let me buy a used 4-cylinder Galant, it's completely a commuter car and has great gas mileage.
Dad: You're a good young man!

*A month later*

Dad: Why there is a manual transmission?
Gearhead: I love the forest and animals. In this way the car goes greener.

*Three months later*

Dad: Why there are so many gauges in your car?
Gearhead: So I can monitor the engine and prevent it from over emission.

*Six months later*

The car was featured in a magazine.
