The name
[edit]Some people on forums and such claim that FTO doesn't actually stand for Fresh Touring Origination, but is simply "one less than GTO". This sounds like garbage to me, but can anyone confirm or deny? A friend of mine owns and FTO and I swear I read some japlish-style sales rubbish when he first got it that heavily supported the acronym. --Super Jamie 10:31, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
NZ
[edit]I thought the FTO was sold in New Zealand (not as a grey import). Can anyone confirm this? Yes
2001
[edit]There are some 2001 FTOs out there, why aren't they in the annual production list? 115.189.158.220 (talk) 05:40, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
There are and was 2001 models.Kongkit (talk) 16:14, 29 January 2010 (UTC)KongkitKongkit (talk) 16:14, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
- Table refers to production, not sales. Source of data is Mitsubishi Motors themselves (eighth page of cited document). --DeLarge (talk) 23:10, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
FTO Production officially ceased in Aug 2000 (Kongkit: Check the VIN plates / seatbelt tags of such '2001' models you refer to) Webcor (talk) 14:01, 15 May 2018 (UTC)
Vandalism?
[edit]Someone keeps changing the peak power values in the tables to very low values. Why? Vandalism? eg. the MIVEC version should have 197hp but someone changes it to 90 or 133hp. 63.116.23.136 (talk) 12:18, 31 October 2013 (UTC)

"Facelift"
[edit]A facelift usually refers to an external change applying to the entire range. Since the 1.8 GS did not get the "facelift", I reckon it is incorrect to refer to it as such. I know that FTO owners do it, but still. I think it could still be considered a facelift if the other changes mentioned (five-speed auto, some ABS differences) occurred around the same time. The Japanese FTO entry does not in any way mention a facelift, which is why I am suspicious of the usage. Also, if there was a facelift, when did it take place? Mr.choppers | ✎ 17:27, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
All models (including the GS)received the face lift from 97+Schumiefan (talk) 15:27, 10 April 2015 (UTC)

FTO Dealership Database
[edit]The Mitsubishi Dealership database (CAPS) contains every 11-digit alpha numeric of the chassis codes for the FTO, which also clearly identifies the colour of the OEM model build. A number of global Parts Sites have also employed an online version URL: https://mitsubishi.epc-data.com/fto/ - and this also evidences the relationship of colours to models, build-types and dates of production. I therefore question any removal of colour charts or charts relating to model-type build quantities which were painstakingly researched by members of the FTO Owners Club since its inception in 1998. Traders have successfully relied on this database for years, and to state in any correction that this database is irrelevant is surely incorrect? Webcor (talk) 20:59, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
