I'm worried that the overweight will be shunned in the workplace and these new rules will make no one want to hire them.
TOKYO — Mitsubishi Motors Corp on Thursday launched the Galant Fortis, a new style sedan. Powered by a 2.0-liter engine, two- and four-wheel drive Galant Fortis models carry a price tag ranging from 1,785,000 yen to 2,436,000 yen. It is the first new sedan introduced by the company in Japan in seven years.
The car has a wider and taller body without any undue stretching of overall length. With its wider track, the packaging reconciles the requirements of stable handling and response with its excellent maneuverability that stems from a minimum turning radius of 5 meters.
The powertrain uses a new 2.0-liter DOHC MIVEC aluminum block engine, which earns a 4-star rating for emission levels 75% below those required by Japan's 2005 Emissions Standards, mated to Mitsubishi's INVECS-III 6-speed Sport Mode CVT that delivers responsive power transmission while returning excellent fuel economy. A high-rigidity platform with excellent impact safety performance and a revamped suspension underpin and support high levels of handling and response and safety performance.
Features enhancing passive and impact safety include a 7-airbag SRS system (driver and front passenger airbags, driver knee airbag, side and curtain airbags); adaptive front lighting (AFS) that improves the driver's field of vision at night; and rain-sensitive auto wipers. -
