If vehicle owners judged cars solely by their looks, the 2007 Mitsubishi Galant Ralliart would fare well; however, its looks are deceiving.
Emblazoned on a grill that melds seamlessly into the hood of the Ralliart is a subtle orange and red badge, distinguishing it from the ordinary Gallant. The emblem appears to be borrowed from more prominent German lines, enough to raise an eyebrow from German car enthusiasts.
On paper, the Gallant Ralliart is reported to go 0-60 MPH in "about" seven seconds. After putting the hammer to the throttle, the 233.6-cubic-inch V-6 responded well, but the front-wheel drive had a mind of its own, as it meandered from side to side.
The 258-HP engine, also found in the Mitsubishi Eclipse GT, is mated to a five-speed automatic Sportronic transmission that works in concert with the engine to put out 258 lb.-ft. of torque at 4,500 RPM.
