After the popular Mitsubishi Magna large sedan wound down, Mitsubishi needed to replace it with a fresh sedan to reinvigorate sales.
Produced between 2005 and 2008, and with a 3.8-litre V6 under the bonnet, the 380 very much took the Magna’s mantle.
Despite a similar recipe to its predecessor, a new name might not have helped as the 380 would become the last Australian-built Mitsubishi model, lasting just three years on the market.
The line-up currently starts at $4,990 for the 380 ES and ranges through to $5,999 for the range-topping 380 Platinum Edition.
