Overview

The Lambda was the last of the RWD Galants, except for the A180 Mitsubishi Starion sports car.

1980-1984 A160 Mitsubishi Galant Lambda
1978-1980 Dodge Challenge/Plymouth Sapporo 1.6 or 2.6

The 2nd generation Lambda (1981-1984) featured similar but restyled bodywork, and a larger, better-riding chassis.
