For safety, the 2006 Mitsubishi Galant is unmatched as they have stayed well ahead of the curve in this department for years. The government forces car companies to stay with their standard safety features as outlined in the yearly report. The government releases the new standards a year ahead of time and they tell of the new things that must accompany a new automobile to stay within the law. Any company that does not meet these requirements is not allowed to sell their automobiles in the US which could be a devastating blow to most of the industry. The car industry is based on competition, and the competition is hot all over the world but more so in the US as the big three have based their operations here since the dawn of the automobile age. This has made it difficult for the overseas companies to compete as the big three are the hometown favorites above all else. But, the overseas companies have met the challenge head on and have made themselves a force to be reckoned with in the automotive industry. It is no secret that during the gas crisis of the 1970's that overseas companies were the first to introduce a more fuel efficient automobile to the American market; this sent the big three back to the drawing board as they needed to meet the threat from overseas. This caused an outbreak in the number of new smaller and more fuel efficient cars to hit the market at the same time, but the American versions were never as popular as the foreign made stylish cars were.
The Mitsubishi Galant will make you fall in love with all Mitsubishi's especially for the racers among us. It seems that Mitsubishi loves to make cars - that car gets 0-60 within the blink of an eye. If you prefer safer cars then the Mitsubishi Galant is not the car for you.
