I'm sure there are. But where I am, it was still ahead of any other AWD sports that was available to my market (in the 30k price range).
It's the best car! of one.

Try more like $45,000 and breaking $60,000 for the VR-4 Spyder.
Even more impressive was the fact that, at roughly $30,000 in 1991, the 3000GT VR4 offered one of the best performance-per-dollar values in the industry.
Cost Base, estimate $31,000 As tested, estimate $31,500

Which is why the VR-4 was ahead of anything else at the time
I didn't think any Mitsubishi could ever be cool. Evo's...3000GT's, Yeechh !

3/10: Not a V.

....What?
The 3000GT competed with the likes of the 300ZX, Skyline GT-R, Supra, RX-7 and, rather worryingly, the Honda/Acura NSX.
Fixed.

Obviously those cars are miles ahead on performance. If you read what I actually posted I was comparing the VR-4 to other AWD sports cars available at that time. Any serious attempts to pack technology into an AWD car before 1991 was basically zero (excluding exotics like 959). The VR-4 helped clear the path for the Evo and STi today.
? The two other all-wheel drive cars cited in this thread weren't serious?
All-wheel drive, turbocharging, all-wheel steering. 1989
All-wheel drive, turbocharging, all-wheel steering. 1988. Homologation special, to boot.

R32 is good, but you're comparing a Galant with a GTO? Might as well compare an Eclipse GSX to Evo MR...
Like I said, "basically zero"

The 3000GT wasn't too terribly far removed from being a Diamante coupe; which in itself was an enlarged and widened version of the same platform that the original Galant VR4 sat on.
