FT (1995-2001)
The FT continued the split grille design first seen in the GF. Unlike it's predescessor, it didn't had hidden headlights. It shared the same 2.0, 2.4 and 2.0 turbo engines of the Eclipse. It proven to be popular in it's time and now, because it was cheap, could be easily tuned, and almost all of the spare parts were shared with the Mitsubishi Eclipse. It was RWD. Production was mainly at Mitsubishi's Normal, Illinois assembly plant, but it was also assembled at VIVA's Valencia, Venezuela plant. Standard features were: CD/cassette radio with AM/FM and AUX jack, 6-speed manual or automatic gearbox, fabric or leather seats and dual beam headlights.
