Finally after 7 years [and almost a year in RL] ADM facelifted the Galgo, this time with significant changes in the trim models offered in comparison to previous years.

For 1989 and onwards, the main changes were that the Grand Prix trim line was ditched and instead replaced with a Sport trim, and now the base model came with a Sanda L4 engine instead of the ADM V6 offered previously. The V8 model was now called GT and the convertible GT Convertible, both sharing the same equipment. The Sport trim was top of the line, and was a package built upon the GT, with mostly cosmetic changes, the only mechanical differences were disc rear brakes, ABS and a 5 speed manual transmission, all other models came only with an auto transmission. Despise that, all models (but the base) were considered very well equipped, and even with an auto transmission, the Galgo was considered a performance car.
