Mitsubishi always seemed to be doing things differently (good and bad). They seemed to emphasize and pursue technological complexity in their later cars which added weight. I had an early Tredia turbo sedan and drove the wheels off it. It was a fun cheap simple car with exploitable performance. I never got an Eclipse but I think they were similar in their approach to them and were a faster lightweight package which is why they are revered over the 3000GT.

The "Mark eX" as you called it wrongly is actually the Mark X (Ten) in roman numerals. It later became the 420G, the "G" stood for "Grand". The "Dime-ler" brand as you called it is pronounced Dame-ler, Daim-ler. Also, or your information, Jaguar produced cars with a "V8" engine between 1962-1967. It was basically a Jaguar Mk 2 with a Daimler 2.5L V8 installed in it. It was referred to as the 2.5 V8 and later became the V8-250.

Enjoyed, but the XJ6 was not "revolutionary" in 1968. It was an evolution of a formula already established by the Mk 10 and S-type / 420. For me the "peak" is the X300 XJR, the last XJ available with or easily converted to a manual gearbox. The S-type Diesel's ZF S6-53 bolts up to the AJ-V8, but the flex plate conversion to flywheel is not for the backyard... or at least not mine!

I had a 1984.5 US Starion. It had the same features as the 85 model year like limited slip diff, G-lateral rear skid control but it was a narrow body. I had to shop parts at both Dodge and Mitsubishi because depending on who supplied the parts, buying at the other dealer could mean double to triple the parts price. It was a good reliable car but part costs made it not worth owning long term.

I loved these things. Between 1985 and about 2000 i owned 8 UK spec starions from an '82 to a late '88. I had an original 1982 mitsubishi brochure which said the name came from the 'star' constellation of 'orion'. I've heard many people say it was a mispronounciation of stallion but thats one of those stories that has no truth behind it. Early UK cars had a non intercooled 2.0 engine making 168bhp and from '85 they got an intercooler and 177bhp. Very late UK cars got a version of the 2.6litre engine making a little more torque than the the 2.0 but less power which was weird. All the UK spec cars had lsd as standard making coming sideways out of corners part of the ownership experience. In '87 we got the wide body, with its Staggered wheel sizes and wider arches. I sold my last starion, an 88 wide body with rare (in the uk) factory air con and with a garret t3 conversion, custom exhaust, a load of other mods and a private number plate plus an absolute ton of spare parts that I'd collected over the years for £2000. I recently saw a starion sell for 25 grand.! Can't even remember the last time I saw one on the road but I'd buy one in a heartbeat and re-live my youth if I had the spare cash to buy one. Enjoyed the video anyway, brought back many memories of sideways fun.
