Vehicle Highlights
Mitsubishi's flagship sedan went on sale in spring of 1991, replacing the old Sigma. Offered in base and upscale LS trim, Diamante was a front-drive 4-door notchback. The base model held a 175-horsepower, 3.0-liter V6. The LS got a dual-cam version, rated at 202 horsepower. A 4-speed electronically controlled automatic was the sole transmission. Antilock brakes were standard on the LS, optional on base Diamantes. Both had a driver-side airbag. Optional on the LS was a Euro Handling Package that included traction control and Active Electronically Controlled Suspension.
