Galant Ralliart edition

saw the new galant ralliart today..what a monster...looks like it will smoke the maxima...they gave me a galant rental to use while my ra was in service..nice ride..cool dash and purple lights etc..but has 5hp less than my ra..which lets me know just how powerful my little ra is because the 160bhp really moves the galant rental..the new ralliart galant is a 3.8 litre or something...the galant is nice..but wouldn't trade my ra for anything

Funny, I thought exactly the opposite thing when I drove the Galant ES. Try running your nails against the surfaces or tapping on them. Everything feels cheap. The seats, the dashboard, absolutely everything. Even the gauges look like they were made from tracing paper.

Standard Features
Comes standard with: a factory-performance tuned 258-horsepower 3.8-liter MIVEC engine, a five-speed Sportronic® automatic transmission with adaptive shift control and clutchless manual shift mode.
Sounds like the thing can move, its power is comparable to my 06 TL. But i just dont like the exterior look of it, but not a bad galant by mitsu overall.

Actually I seen a comparison for galant ralliart vs camry, vs altima se-r vs impala(I think) on motortrend(or car and driver), the gallant placed thrid behind the camry and altima, as well they found the atima be the best performance wise.

I haven't actually looked at one yet, but from looking at a 2006 GSR gallant I would have to agree that the interior quality is kinda crappy, and I didn't like how the gsr drove...personnally I'd rather buy a 2.0T Passat, even though it's got less power it fells like a far superior car.
