          Grand Prize Winner From Madison, NJ Picks the Roomy, Sleek
                           Mitsubishi Galant Sedan

    CYPRESS, Calif., Aug. 21 Mitsubishi Motor Sales of
America, Inc. (MMSA) today announced the results of the Win a Mitsubishi
Vehicle of Your Choice campaign, which took place on its web site,
mitsubishicars.com.  The lucky 27 year-old Hugo Almada of Madison, New Jersey
selected a black Mitsubishi Galant GTZ as his grand prize.

    Almada, who already drives a white 2001 Galant, says the decision to
choose another was very simple.  "I just love the Galant," Almada explains.
"I used to drive a '98 Galant and I love the 2001 Galant I drive now.  And
thanks to Mitsubishi Motors, now I have two!"
    More than 65,000 people logged on to http://www.mitsubishicars.com to select
their favorite Mitsubishi vehicle and to enter a chance at winning the vehicle
of their choice.

    "The Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder convertible was the most popular choice of
the contestants," said Greg Stahl, director, advertising for Mitsubishi
Motors.  "Mr. Almada chose the Galant, a sophisticated and fun sedan,
demonstrating that there truly is a Mitsubishi model for everyone."

    "I picked the Galant because I have kids and I need four doors," said
Almada.  "It's a nice car, I don't mind having two.  It's the best car I have
ever owned."
