the name pop'd up some time in the early 90's , Ryddler and Trance were both working on a car site of their own,, shorten'd the site name to use Star-from Starion and Quest - from Conquest makeing the name StarQuest

 

That can't be how it was done.

 

I invented it. I told Ryddler how to make websites and what it should be called. Roberto, you're wrong. There I proved it.

In 1981 history scholars accidentally stumbled across the name, design, and complete blueprints in one of DaVinci's books. That particular page has since then been incinerated and the scholars mysteriously disappeared... so they say.

Impossible to know, but more than probably it was a service manager, service writer, or mechanic, because they were the ones that knew that the Starion and Conquest were in fact, the same car (and had no need to hide that fact).

 

Back in 1982, Mitsubishi only had 70 dealers nationwide, and in a sparce 22 states, so they made a deal with C/P/D (Chrysler/Plymouth/Dodge) dealers to provide warranty and service work to Starion's/Cordia's/Tredia's if they happen to show up in the dealership (common in those days, impossible today). Back then, Japanese cars weren't as respected as they are today, so C/P/D salespeople wanted to sweep the badge-engineered part of the Conquest under the table, so you would have never heard them use the phrase. Also, information about who actually produced the car was much harder to come by, so many Conquest owners thought that the car was in fact a C/P/D product. However, the mechanic's knew the truth, and used the phrase "Starquest" frequently. I have it on good authority that the phrase was being used as early as 1984, but I personally first heard it in 1988...from a Chrysler mechanic.

I don't know who coined the term but I hate it, and never ever use it. LOL.

 

No, but I do remember when the term started being used, and it was on one of these forums, nothing official. Might have been on Ryddler's old board, somebody was saying it a lot and it stuck, unfortunately... ;)

 

Now did you guys know that the car was supposed to be called the Stallion, being the big brother to the Colt at that time? Talk about lost in translation.
