eh? the galant has been in production since 1970ish. its still in production today. why would they have 2 cars called 'Galant'?

The new 380 uses new panel pressing technology, it wont have the pillarless doors like the previous magna, naming it the galant would be seen as a copy of the yanks even though galant in US form is a big car that sells extremely well. Not sure about the door seal comment, haven't found to many magnas from TR on wards that leak sounds more like a commodore fault to me lol
