My mom and dad bought the other "Mopar Mitsubishi" in (IIRC) 1976: the Plymouth Arrow. It was tinny (though not excessively so) and some of the plastic parts were oddly short-lived, but it ran great; so much so that it got an awesome reputation from people outside the family. In short, it was the "gateway drug" to foreign cars for quite a few people who witnessed its remarkable drivetrain durability.

The car we bought was identical to a Mitsubishi model.
Turns out they were the same car, made by the same people, but the addition of the Mitsubishi brand name nearly doubled the price.
It was fun to drive and actually had a manual tranny, something I’ve missed over the years.
Never was one for automatics.
