The Diamante went on sale in Japan exclusively in May 1990 and won that year's Japan Car of the Year award. It was created by splicing an extra 6.6 centimeters right down the middle of the Galant, which itself had won Japan Car of the Year in 1987. Until 1989 the width of vehicles impacted the taxation class, but the tax situation changed in 1989 and the Diamante became the surprise hit of 1990. The Diamante name is derived from the Spanish, Portuguese and Italian word for diamond, and was adopted also as homage to the Mitsubishi badge, which is composed of three diamonds.
