I saw a Sigma on the weekend that had a V8 in it, got to love the big powered little cars

Really? You learn something everyday.

I used to have a Mitsu Galant VR4 - that was a fun sleeper.

The 70's Galants were Chryslers and a top little car they were to. Not sure when it became Mister Bishi's, probably went things started to go plastic.

During the Sigma I think, early 80s . The early ones are Chrysler and then they became Mitsubishi. Chrysler and Mitsubishi are linked, not sure who owns part of who but they are linked. Thats why Chrysler died here, they became Mitsubishi cause they went broke I think.
