This likeable Chrysler compact coupe is actually a Mitsubishi Starion sold under the American company’s banner in the 1980s. Its presence on our roads is pretty rare, but a few curious enthusiasts have imported the sports car, drawn perhaps by the model’s angular design.

A true sports car, the Conquest TSi / Mitsubishi Starion sends power to the rear wheels via a 5-speed manual transmission and a naturally-aspirated 2.6L 4-cylinder, or turbocharged 2.0L 4-cylinder engine in its Japanese iteration.
