You see it every morning: a line of metallic-beige motorized appliances and their expressionless drivers obediently filing out of your neighborhood. Ever wonder why someone would buy a car designed not to excite them?
For those who choose to enjoy driving, we present the restyled 2007 Galant sport sedans. From the value-packed ES to the streetwise new RALLIART, every Galant delivers driving thrills inspired by 25 years of motorsports success in a crisp, fresh — and roomy — wrapper. Maybe that’s why television’s MotorWeek called it “a sharper and sportier alternative.” And between its sleek new front end and artfully sculpted tail, the 2007 Galant’s standout styling conceals a more rigid body structure, reassuring new safety systems, a retuned chassis and a richer, racier cockpit. All to make your commute more inspiring. And your neighbors beige with envy. |
Galant’s safety systems extend beyond air bags and crumple zones. The body structure is more rigid for 2007, and includes high-strength reinforcements in the side sills, behind the dash and across the floor. Not one but two tubular steel beams guard each door.
Both driver and front passenger are provided with advanced front air bags with two-stage inflators, as well as seat-mounted side-impact air bags.† New for 2007, standard roof-mounted curtain air bags add a layer of protection for front and outboard rear seats.
Every 2007 Galant is equipped with front seat-belt pre-tensioners that are designed to tighten the belts in certain frontal impacts, helping to control occupant motion. Standard belt-force limiters help the front seat belts and front air bags to work together optimally. |
