1981 Mitsubishi Sapporo

In November 1980 the 2000 Turbo had been added, with the 2600 and the 2000 ECI dropped, and in April 1981 the 2000 Turbo AT followed. In May 1981 the Royal ECI and the 2300 Diesel Turbo CX AT were launched, and in November a minor change reduced the lineup. In the United States the car was sold as the Dodge Challenger and the Plymouth Sapporo, and in Australia as the Mitsubishi Scorpion. The Galant Lambda was sold at the Galant stores, while its sister car the Eterna Lambda was sold at the Car Plaza stores.
