The initial technology was adapted from Mitsubishi Motors, while the design of the Saga was inspired by Italian carmakers Alfa Romeo. Part and components were back then manufactured solely by Mitsubishi, but as the local expertise grew, components were started to be produced locally as skilled workers doubled and tripled in time.
