Was there ever an AWD gen 2 of any discription?

Perhaps an AWD Diamante in NZ/US... but I'm pretty sure they only came out in the third gens.. :confused:

no :bowrofl:

Yes there was in England, Europe and Japan called the Sigma (Diamante in Japan) which also had 4 wheel steering and a few other useless items that wasn't sold here due to the high cost.Just do a google search under Mitsubishi Sigma or Diamante.
There was a road test in the U.K magazine CAR about the Sigma back in 1991.

Yep. There are a couple of 3rd gen JDM diamante AWD's on AMC, one in NZ (GDImante?) and Tbutcher, but I don't think any are road going in australia. DMI has a 2nd gen diamante/sigma, but its FWD

']no :bowrofl:

Sif you know about 2nd gens:gtfo:
lol As said, yes there was, How i wish i had one

what for? so i can slap the GTO TT Motor in or whatever and get some power to the back wheels not just the front!

tell him to put an evo wing on it:cool:

america had it as well its the f17 chasis/body code in america

Australia always gets shafted :(

Yes there were, all over the world except au. Have seen 2 here in Melb, these came with the dohc, traction control and everything that opens and closes.

They were branded Sigma's but none that I know of called Diamante.

Clarkson did a run in one before he took over Top Gear as we know it now

yup, he did a review of the awd mitsu sigma in ep2 of the 1991 season of top gear...
(unfortunately bbc has pulled the vids off utoob).

the jap spec ones were just about always available in awd ... curses!

can anyone get any info or pics on this as i have tried to find some now and in the past and failed. Just the thought of DOHC and 4WD ohhhhhhhhhh

yeah sell your gen 2 and get a vr4 of similar vintage already 4wd and 4ws and turbo and manual and even look similar... that makes sense to me

wud someone plz xplain to me why is it that australia misses out on the best of the models?

diamante wasnt sold here
sigma (which ive been told is more luxo version of our maggie)
AWD sigma! grrr!...why is it always aus that misses out on the mint rides...

because 12 people live here

they cant even sell the 380 so they arent going to bring a certain car down under when they might sell 30 for example

the market is just not here

in japan for example 36 ppl live there and they have 000's more people demanding such a vehicle

and japan has enuf snow to get em to offer AWD on just about every model.

Yeah same, all i saw was one crappy car and another even crappier car that was called a something b0x

Clarkson did a run in one before he took over Top Gear as we know it now

The one he reviews is the fwd sigma, he even says towards the end something along the lines of how he thinks 200bhp and fwd dont go together nicely.

so long story short they are out there, just not here?:doubt:

Might be an interesting exercise trying to find one in NZ when i next pop across the puddle

If only if only :(

Certainly was.

The 30V-SE 4WD and 25V-SE 4WD F16A Sigma and Diamante.

right, now to find one:doubt:

Any pics of the engine bay dimi?

god dammit that sigma looks damn hot......is that what they look like completely stock? I want one.:rant:

Those are stockers. Look good don't they. Way better than the local magna/verada lol
Here's a photo of the standard polished 30V-SE 4WD engine bay with an HKS ram pod air filter.
Note the slightly different rocker cover to the standard DOHC.

LOL *bitch slaps andrew* looks like you don't know anything about the sigma/diamante product line http://www.clubvr4.com/forum/images/smilies/fryingpan.gif
30V-SE4WD is the 3.0ltr DOHC
30R-SE is the DOHC FF
25V-SE4WD are the 2.5ltr ltr DOHC cyclone engines
