Following the lead of other recent Mitsubishi prototypes, "green plastic" recyclable resin is used extensively in the body panels and interior for environmental reasons.[2]
Although there was initially no official confirmation, the automotive press was confident that this prototype presaged the next generation of the Mitsubishi Galant,[3][4][5] and the Galant-based Mitsubishi 380 in Australia.[6] However, in August 2008 the company announced that it had abandoned production plans using the same drivetrain and a steel body, claiming they could no longer make a business case for the car.[7]
