Design

1G

 Mitsubishi handled most of the interior design and basic engineering.
 Chrysler did most of the exterior design.

 Chrysler`s version of the sporty Diamond-Star hatchback coupe was designed in Highland Park, Mich., but uses engine, transmission and other mechanical components supplied by Mitsubishi.
