AMG = Mercedes? Not so much... [Galant content]

Hi!

Nowadays, AMG belongs to Mercedes. However, some two decades ago, the bond to Mercedes was not that strong and the company in Afalterbach worked theyr magic on other barnds as well.

For example on the Mitsu Galant. Though those cars were meant for the japanese market only, not unsurprisingly they are little known in europe.

This is very interesting, I didn't know this about AMG, those JDM AMG Mitsubishis are just awesome. Have to do some research in the history of the AMG company to get some more info on the subject.
