Care to try to explain away this one?

Doesn't really matter, they are a hell of a long way off Holden's 480

I doubt that Mitsubishi really expected the 380 to capture the Aussie large
car market and save the day - no V8, no RWD, looks appalling. And the
consumer has spoken, so why keep flogging the dead horse?
