In Australia, this Mitsubishi was sold as the Magna from 1986 to 1991. Late ‘91 the next gen ( wide body) Magna , which Australia built and exported to the USA from about 1992 -2003 as the Mitsubishi Diamonte. The top-spec Mitsubishi equivalent was called the Verada , with the 3.5liter V6 in the last generation of these cars..

Growing up we had a 1987 Galant fully loaded with infiniti sound system with 10 band graphic equalizer, auto suspension, steering wheel audio controls, white with brown leather and a sunroof on top of all the features you present on your 85. What a tech marvel, but unfortunately ahead of its time due to 80s electronics, bad transmission, burning oil, and failing cv joints as chronic issues. Still loved the car and have been trying to find one forever.

The car I would love to save from the junkyard would be the Saab 99 Combi Coupe. I dunno what it was called in the US but on the right side of the Atlantic it was called "Combi Coupe". Only a few were produced in the late 70ies. Most 99s were sedans or two-door-saloons, all of the classic three-box-design of the 60ies. But the "Combi Coupe" was a two-door-coupe with the massive tailgate that became common with the Saab 900 just a few years later. It was basically a big cool hatchback. It's hard to believe, but it looked really cool. In a way it was the blueprint for the 900, but it look less massive, more sporty, more elegant. And it looked unique. The interior was unique as well, with the ignition between the front seats and the strange system for the seat bealts, that totaly made sense. I still want to have these seat belt locks. It was a way smarter solution then the common buckle, we're all used to. The Saab 99 was decently fast for the time with a good 100 bhp. And it handled amazing. In it's days the 99 was one of the best handling cars on loose or wet or snowy or frozen ground. It was a pretty successful rally-car. Try to google the "Saab 99 Combi Coupe". It's worth a look.

They are rare on the roads now. Considered just a car, they were destined for the scrapper, like the Falcon, Fairmont, Fairlane and LTD (I had a 1987 Fairmont, dad had a 1986 Fairlane). In the last 5 years they are now worth money now the plant's have shut and nothing is being exported from Australia anymore. Was the first car Australia produced with climate control. This was an early early car as it doesn't have the electronic dash introduced in 1986. Also rare is it being monotone as most had dual tone paint. Yes the trans in the TM were bad. Fixed in 1991 on the TP my dad had. Same with the cracked blocks.

These were awesome cars. Uncle had a new 86 with electronic suspension and unique alloys. They were too unconventional for the staid American market at the time. They added length, a V6 and a Sigma designation to distinguish it from the new 89 Galant. BUT, the transmission issue was common (same for the Camrys at the time). It is what motivated my uncle to sell his Galant in 92 to buy the new Camry. Ahh, memories of a time when vehicles all didn't look like the same cross-over, cookie-cutter nonsense that passes for transportation today.
