If the name makes you smile, then the styling while probably make you laugh out loud. Sadly never sold in the UK - one rarely gets a laugh on the road - but in Japan this was Mitsubishi's ultimate executive saloon, its pedigree stretching right back to the '60s. In fact the original 1964 Debonair ran through to 1986. The early cars had a certain kitsch charm but not the follow-up, whose breeze block styling was kept ultra-conservative to appeal to Japanese executives, who presumably do not want to stand out, no matter how dashing they might be.
