Hey guys!
Check out this old episode of Top Gear (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FedHrLHkbqA)
It features the Mitsubishi Sigma V6 24V.

Nice little review that starts exactly 5:00mins into the video.

Enjoy :lol:

Just watched that
Well least he thought it was pretty good...
I think hes wrong bout the styling though:P

lol imagine if he tested the SOHC :disgusted

Yeah i reckon! The styling was nice haha. Those ultra yellow 1991 stock headlight bulbs look crap haha :D

That was awesome, so nice to see the euro market hating on Mitsubishi :P Bless em!

he was having fun you could see it a mile off :D

I posted this up ages ago :P

Haha yep i downloaded and watched the original one you posted, but the video link doesn't work anymore! So I thought i'd repost a youtube link :D

those sigma's make our verada's look like a poverty pack!

"hello mr wong? .. yeah send the sigma over to us, but take out all the good stuff .. yeah ... the aussies wont know .. nar we will call it a verada .. ok thanks mr wong"

Man you are spot on there. That's so damn true. Pisses me off :rant:
Now we have to spend oodles of time and money just to get it to be just like a stock sigma.
At least give us the self raising suspension and leather :nuts:

But then again, look at the price £27,000 that's like $66,900. The Verada's were only around $49,000. So i dunno. But still, they should've sold them here like the way they were sold overseas. Shiit go.

Do any buffs out there know why this happened? Why we got left with the el-cheapo version?

We always get that in Australia. That's why imports are so popular now.

i'd imagine price would have something to do with it .. secondly some of the gadgets in the sigma might not have been in line with aussie compliance. Man i would kill to get memory seats .. my mrs is shorter than me and i can never get the drivers seat back to what it was.

the 1991 verada was just a v6 magna from memory .. no electrics nothing .. i guess it was a new shape and they were testing the waters ... thats no excuse for short changing us today still!

yeah, i was pretty surprised when i saw that. Makes the verada's look bodgy...

Stupid australian compliance. I don't understand what could go wrong with memory seats, leather, DOHC's, self leveling suspension, TCS, and a nice front bar :nuts:

And what's the go with only driver's side being electric. Same thing on the supra. Driver's side only. How tight is that.

Stingie to the max

Oh well, it's all good. Guess we just have to make the most of what we got :sook:

My mates KR verada has the self leveling suspension. All still in the car but the bags have been replaced with normal struts because they kept exploding.

Yeah same deal with mine .. i got normal suspension now also.

youtube has schedualed down time, so i cant watch it....:cry:

Any one want to say what episode it was on as I ahve every episode ever recorded and do not recall seeing this one :(

Do not want to watch them all agian !

Well just answered my own question.

Not sure which top gear this one is as it is not the Clarkson series as that started in 2002. Might have been an old series that clarkson then took over

YOu will also notice that this is the australian body, this these shells were made here! The Jap ones are a saloon, they have no rear quater window in the rear pillar.

Apparently the self raising suspension or whatever it's called had enormous amounts of problems regarding the bags as expressed before, and the ABS had the problems with solenoids... pretty sub standard if you ask me, I'd rather just lighten up on the brake pedal when I smash down on it lol

Damn you got every episode? How'd you pull that off? lol

The ECS had problems allright, it was called the idiot mechanic who did not raise the vehile all the way before lifting the car on a jack or hoist and then pinched the air bags!

THe ABS while not the best system in the world was no real problem.

I have all the eps which have been done by Clarkson. Upon some research Jeremy was a host in an earlier series of TOp Gear which got canned and then a few years later he revived it and thus we have what we have now.

A 1995 Verada XI was around the same price as a top of the line Nissan Maxima and Honda Accord, and around 3K more than a Ford Fairmont Ghia and 4K more than a Holden Calais all from 1995. To compete on price was probably the main reason why our Verada's look poverty pack compared to the Japanese models.
