They sold the Galant here in Australia as the Sigma. People that don't like them call them Stigma This looks a lot like the 3rd body shape we got. Never had the option of a Turbo with this one though.
Our choice was 2.0 or 2.6 four with either 5 speed manual or 3 speed auto.

PD should add this Lancer along with the rally version that I suggested a few weeks ago...

That's interesting, but what's "Stigma" means?

The English definition of 'stigma' is: something shameful or disgraceful.

It's clearly not a compliment and follows the reputation the Sigma has here in Australia.
A Sigma is usually accompanied by the sound of a rattling timing chain and followed by a trail of blue oil smoke owing to Mitsubishi's substandard piston rings. It seems to me every Mitsubishi 4-cylinder made between the mid 1970's and mid 1990's trails blue oil smoke.

With other words it's not a very popular car down there? By the way, it's not so popular on this site either

The 2.6 was a bored out version of the 2.0 and had a nasty habit of splitting the bores making the engine suitable as a boat anchor.

This model is a later 1980 one with sirius engine and a timing belt. Piston rings was not a problem in Europe. Maybe an Australian local content problem. The Australians kept using the old Astron engine with timing chain. Problem was the bushings of the balancer shafts wore out causing the timing chain to rattle and then snap. Only problem I know of with Mitsubishi is the early non-watercooled Turbos, heads on the early Diesels especially the Sirius and FWD and 4WD gearboxes (the bearings in them), oil smoke like all Japanese is due to valve seals that harden and starve over time.

In Europe we had the 2.6 for a brief time in the Pajero until the V6 came out. Some late German Starions had a 2.6 Turbo intercooler with cat. These were all later Astrons with belt
