At O’Brien Mitsubishi, we’ve had the privilege of showcasing an array of remarkable used Mitsubishi cars over the years. While we’re excited about the present and future lineup of this esteemed brand, we can’t help but look back fondly at some of the discontinued models that have left an indelible mark on automotive enthusiasts.

Mitsubishi Eclipse: The Sporty Sedan’s Glory Days

With sleek designs and optional turbocharged engines, the Mitsubishi Eclipse represents the golden age of sporty compact cars for many drivers. One thing remained constant over its illustrious run: an undying appeal to the youth and the young-at-heart. Its legacy is so impactful that recent years saw the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross SUV attempt to capture some of the sedan’s iconic magic.

Mitsubishi Galant: A Family Car Par Excellence

Spacious, comfortable, and highly advanced for its time, the Mitsubishi Galant was a staple for families and professionals alike. Its VR-4 variant, a turbocharged AWD sedan, even left a mark in the world of motorsports. While it may no longer be in production, its reputation as a reliable and well-rounded family car ensures it remains fondly remembered.

Mitsubishi 3000GT: The Futuristic Powerhouse

The Mitsubishi 3000GT, also known as the GTO in some markets, offered features ahead of its era, such as electronically controlled suspension and four-wheel steering. Its twin-turbo V6 was a testament to power and performance, making it a sought-after model for those who desired speed and innovative design.
