The key differentiation between the GS and GT trims is the engine. A new 3.8-liter V6 provides this model with 263 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. With the manual transmission, the GT will run from 0 to 60 mph in just over six seconds.

The GT also adds a six-speed manual transmission or the five-speed automatic option, traction control, fog lamps and a compass. This trim is eligible for Mitsubishi's Premium Sport Package, which adds 18-inch tires, leather upholstery, heated front seats with a six-way power driver seat, heated mirrors, a sunroof, automatic climate control, the premium Rockford Fosgate audio system with an in-dash CD changer, steering-wheel audio controls, and aluminum pedals.
