Mitsubishi Gets Some Dignity Via Infiniti

Mitsubishi dubbed their flagship, the Dignity, to denote

"…the English to describe the peerless grandeur and majestic stateliness of the model…"

at least they've got a good starting point – the China-only Infiniti M35h LWB.

Previous Dignity/Proudia versions have been twinned with the Korean market Hyundai Equus, but with that alliance over, Mitsubishi turned to Nissan for some help, in the form of a badge engineered Nissan Fuga, or as we know it, Infiniti M.

Mitsubishi didn't really do much to differentiate the Dignity, or the short-wheelbase, non-hybrid Proudia, from their Infiniti/Nissan counterparts. The mechanical bits are all identical too; the Proudia has the Nissan VQ staple engines, in 2.5L or 3.7L trim, with the big engine offering all-wheel drive. The Dignity comes solely with the hybrid powertrain. The only question that hasn't been answered so far is "who the hell is going to buy this?"
