2009 Mitsubishi Galant Facelift

Since there’s no press release to be found on Mitsubishi’s official sites, we’re guessing that the pictures of the revised 2009 Galant that you see here where apparently prematurely leaked into the internet. From what we gather, the most prominent changes concern the new front grille and bumper design along with the restyled rear-end that features longer tail-lamps and a new bumper. The 2009 Mitshubishi Galant will make its premiere at the Chicago Show next week. –More pics after the jump

2009 Mitsubishi Eclipse

The Mitsubishi Eclipse has received a modest facelift for the 2009 model year. Debuting next week at the Chicago Auto Show, the car has a new look reminiscent of the company's Lancer Evolution. We'll have hi-res images soon, but for now you'll have to make due with four low-res shots that leaked online this evening.
While the front has been augmented by a blacked-out trapezoidal grille/air intake, the rear now has a black insert on the lower part of the rear apron.
The 3.8 liter V6 has been improved somewhat, now deliver 265 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque. Customers can chose from a five-speed manual or six-speed automatic.
The GT model includes stability control, HID headlights, larger rear disc brakes, and a new spoiler. All Eclipse variants now come standard with electronic brakeforce distribution as part of the ABS system, which helps keep the vehicle under control during heavy braking.
