TOKYO — Mitsubishi Motors has introduced the oddly named Galant Fortis sedan in the home market. Americans already know this same car as the replacement for the Lancer that went on sale here in March.

All-new sheet metal hasn't given the car much more personality. But in typical Japanese style, the Galant Fortis can be loaded up with goodies, including a navigation system and four-wheel drive. Prices in the domestic market range from $15,350 to $20,950 for the full-boat Galant Fortis Super Exceed Navi.

The car is taller and wider than its predecessor, with more interior space. Mitsubishi says the face of the car represents the new family look that will be seen on future models.

A new version of Mitsubishi's DOHC 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine is mated to a six-speed "sport mode" continuously variable transmission with paddle shifters. Sport models ride on 18-inch wheels and tires.

Other technical features include seven airbags, "odor eating" headliner, rain-sensitive wipers and adaptive front lighting.

What this means to you: A Lancer by any other name still looks boring.

The Mitsubishi Galant Fortis is coming to the U.S. soon, also to replace the Lancer here. (Photo courtesy of Mitsubishi Motor Sales of America)

So what does this say for the EVO
