FactMitsubishi set a modest sales target for the Dion — 4,500 in month one — and blew past it by 1,000 units in just the first two weeks.
The Mitsubishi Dion is a compact MPV, shown at the 1999 Tokyo Motor Show and introduced on 25 January 2000 at ¥1,598,000–1,848,000, built at the Mizushima plant in Kurashiki on a stretched Lancer/Mirage platform with seven seats in a 2–3–2 configuration; the name comes from Dionysus, the Greek god of wine and joy. The company's target of 4,500 sales in the first month was exceeded by 1,000 after only two weeks, and it was facelifted in Japan in May 2002. Engines were a 2.0-litre I4, a 1.8-litre GDI I4 and a 2.0-litre GDI I4 with an INVECS-II 4-speed semi-automatic; it was succeeded by the Delica D:5 and Delica D:3.

Owning one
We don’t estimate running costs for a car like this. What it costs depends on its condition, its specialist and how it is driven, and an average would mislead.

Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
Cooling the C6 RS6’s twin-turbo V10 took seven separate radiators and four electric fans under the bonnet.
The original RS6 debuted Audi's clever hydraulic Dynamic Ride Control suspension — and enough owners got tired of its leaking dampers that they ripped the whole system out for plain coilovers.
The C7-generation RS6 Avant never officially reached America at all — buyers there got the RS7 Sportback instead, running the exact same engine and platform in a different body.
For a few years, this Outback's six-cylinder trim came with genuine McIntosh audio — the same esteemed hi-fi name found in home theaters, one of the only cars ever to get it from the factory.
Subaru didn't have the budget for an all-new SUV, so it dressed up a Legacy wagon instead. A Subaru of America executive later put it bluntly: "[the Outback] saved our company."
The new Outback's full-width tail light bar has a 2 ft ruler built in, for measuring whatever you are about to load.
This Outback shared Top Gear's Car of the Year crown — an unusual honor for a jacked-up wagon to split with the Ford Mondeo in 2007.
A wagon beat the SUVs at their own game: this Outback generation won Motor Trend's Sport/Utility of the Year award for 2010.
