Vehicle Highlights
Another facelift takes Mitsubishi's slow-selling flagship sedan into the 8th year of its current design. Diamante returns in base ES, sporty VR-X, and luxury-oriented LS trim. All have a V6 engine, 4-speed automatic transmission, antilock 4-wheel disc brakes, and 16-inch alloy wheels. Side airbags are unavailable. ES and LS have 205 hp. The VR-X has 210 hp, plus a sport-tuned suspension. The VR-X also comes with traction control, which is optional for LS in a Cold Zone Package that also includes heated front seats and mirrors. This year's cosmetic changes involve a redone nose with Mitsubishi's new corporate look, a restyled dashboard and center console, new colors and interior trims, and a standard rear spoiler for VR-X. The LS also gains a manual shift gate like the VR-X.
