FactMitsubishi's flagship Proudia lasted barely fifteen months on sale before the company's financial troubles killed it — only 1,227 were ever built.
The Mitsubishi Proudia (a portmanteau of "proud" and "diamond", for the company's logo) is a luxury sedan positioned below the Dignity limousine (a lengthened Proudia), produced from late 1999 to 2001 and co-manufactured with Hyundai, whose Equus ran until 2008/2009. Introduced as a competitor to the Nissan Cima and Toyota Crown Majesta with a transversely mounted engine driving the front wheels, it came in three specifications: types A and B with the 6G74 3,497 cc GDi V6 (177 kW / 237 hp and 343 N·m) and type C with the 8A80 4,498 cc GDi V8 (206 kW / 276 hp and 412 N·m), with a five-speed INVECS-II automatic, CCD cameras monitoring adjacent lanes and behind, a lidar-activated adaptive cruise control, MacPherson-strut front and multi-link rear suspension. Combined Dignity and Proudia sales fell far short of the estimated 300 a month, and production ended after only 1,227 vehicles in three years (383 in 1999, 759 in 2000, 85 in 2001).

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.

After an 11-year gap, Mitsubishi revived this nameplate in 2012 by rebadging the second-generation Nissan Fuga — built with its old rival, not against it.

Rivals
Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
It briefly served as senior sibling to Marquette, a GM companion brand cancelled after just one year.
Nissan hired former BMW engineers to help develop the 510's suspension, which is why period reviewers frequently compared its handling to the BMW 1600/2002.
A Trabant 601 won its class at the 1970 Monte Carlo Rally, with a second 601 right behind it in second.
The 600 was a stopgap: the P50's body over the 601's mechanicals, and for a while its estate was built alongside the new 601 saloon.
The G80 Sport brought a 370 PS twin-turbo 3.3 V6, a mesh grille and copper-tinted chrome with copper stitching to match.
The Vigor was sold only with a five-cylinder engine, an unusual configuration Honda used to fit a longer engine transversely under a short hood.
The GS/E coupe earned the nickname "German Charger" for its long hood, short deck stance borrowed from Detroit muscle cars.
This DeVille/Fleetwood was the first production car anywhere to mount its V8 sideways, Cadillac's front-drive gamble on the new C-body.
