Well, suit yourself. I can say that my Dodge stealth was one of the nicest cars I think came out of the 1990s (after the R129) and that its bubble-gum metal was safer than that of many other cars on the road. Wasn't a w126 with 1/4" German tank steel but it did absorb a 50mph impact and just needed some repair for bodywork (while the guy who hit me totaled his relatively new accord). I think the 4G63T and particularly the 6G73TT are excellent engines on top of decent AWD platforms. I think there are companies that deserve much more criticism than mitsu for their cars.
