What's this car? Sorry for the very bad quality but it was nearly night time and I was on a bumpy road. :)

........joking, but definitly a Mitsu....either an old Diamante, Galant, or a Laurel (never heard of it, but I'm an America.....so we must not get that "bad-ass" car).
 
Looks like what was called a Mitsubishi Tredia in the US.
 
...and has a Mitsubishi badge on it (second picture, centre of boot)...

that is not a nissan, its got a dam mitsubishi badge!


I saw that...I'M NOT BLIND!!!!!
But that car is a Cedric and not a damn Mitsubishi

Like you have never seen a moron running around in a Honda or a Toyota and has a BMW badges on,or even worse a GT-R badge on :dopey:
 
...my point being that there's no way to tell how big the car in that picture is, from the available surroundings by which you normally judge size and scale.

ok,Duke,i'm not going to argue with you.I'm looking for pictures as am writing this,but so far no luck,...........but i will keep looking 👍
 
I have no idea what the car is. I've never seen that in the States.

You got me there.But mitshbishi never made anything bigger than the Galant Sigma,and that thing doesn't look like it.

Thanks for the corraction 👍


Mitsubishi Diamante is bigger than a Galant.
 
Why the hell did you block out the license plate? There's only one way to determine the age of that vehicle and you blocked it out, for reasons completely unknown.

Whatever it is, it was never sold in the US, and it is bigger than a Tredia, which, unfortunately, was sold in the US. Tredia was an economy car and just based on the rear three-quarters that vehicle looks large enough to be a Diamante predecessor. US's first Mitsubishi year was 1983 - there's a chance it's older than that, meaning I wouldn't be able to identify it. It's definitely NOT a model sold in the US.

Not a Cedric. Wrong taillights, wrong C pillar, wrong trunk lid.
Canada's only had Mistubishis for the last ~5 years, so I have no idea what it actually is.
I'm pretty sure it's this car:

The badge looks exactly the same as on the car I saw. I know the rear looks like a Mitsubishi badge but it wasn't. I was probably shaking around so much it somehow made a 3 pointed star. :odd:

Also the grille didn't have them metal bars going across it and it didn't say bi-turbo I think.

Ok, the number plate is there now.
 
There's a lip on the boot in the second picture you shot which isn't ON the Cedric...

Out of interest, am I reading that plate correctly? It looks like C378GAV.

I think the number plate is right. It's either C or D at the beginning, or it says CAV not GAV. I'm sure it said CAV when I saw it.
 
I don't think it's an Tredia either(did MMC make an Tredia that old?). It really does look like an Nissan. First I was thinking old Maxima, but looks little taller. It does look like an Cedric, Gloria or Laurel. :confused:

P.S. Did someone mention Diamante? There's no Diamante, that old. :)

Edit:

I just had a second look at it. It kinda looks like mid 80's Toyota Camry as well. It is an Japanese car?

The DVLA have no record of C378CAV or C378GAV.
