Why Dodge always want to be Mitsubishi? Mitsubishi Galant vs Dodge Charger

Do you all think the Charger Tail is a copy of the Galant Tail?

I wonder what other parts are share since Dodge own Mitsubishi..

Ugly!

Very similar quarters and rear end but they are not the same.

Good catch though. I never noticed it.

it wouldnt surprise me in the least to see the new galant and the charger come out and look the same. obviously this would be nothing new for dodge and mitsubishi. they have been sharing platforms for years, and still are. i personally like the new galant, but i already have a mitsu, so maybe ill get the charger instead, haha.

u know, one time, i saw a galant, but didn't know it was the galant, but i thought it was frickin AMAZING for some reason..maybe it was the lighting combined with the time of day (night) and drugs i may have been taking at the time joking of course, but i really did see the galant in it's full glory once..but never again

FYI-Dodge does not own Mitsu, they just have shares in the company.

Newbie newbie newbie...dont you know anything about DSM diamond star motors when chrysler (star) and mitsu (diamond) were partners. thats where the eagle talon and 89-99 eclipse came from. they were always working together, why do you think some mitsubishi's rust like an old dodge? because they where half built by them. dodge does not own mitsubishi. and if anyone would own mitsubishi it would be chrysler not dodge.
