    Mitsu G-wagon for year 2004...could it be true? It is based on the Strada chassis, like the everest based on the ranger platform. They said the G-wagon has the 2.8L intercooled engine of the previous Pajero. I like it! I got the pic from motioncars. There's even a cool looking Revo, I reckon it's 4x4.

    It's Mercedes-Benz Gelaendewagen, Gwagen or G-Wagen for short.

    I think Mitsubishi will have to check on the legalities on this name. Body structure based on pickups seems to be "in" for these manufacturers. Almost the same setup with the other brands.

    G Wagen is just a nickname for the G Class ;) Besides, its alright to have vehicles with the same name. eg. Toyota Highlander || Isuzu Highlander and marami pang iba.

    G-Wagon is the Thai version of the Challenger a.k.a. Montero Sport. Mas may appeal daw kasi ang front end ng Strada sa market nila that's why they used it.

    daimlerchrysler owns 22-28%(not sure about the exact number) of mitsubishi.
    between G-class and G-wagon,i think the name sounds different especially when the official name of MB's $80K SUV are G500 and G55 AMG.i think the reason why it's safe to name isuzu's AUV highlander in the philippines cuz there's no toyota highlander there.but isuzu try it in north america and surely lawsuits will be flying.

    mercedes benz G-class


    mitsu montero sport 3L and 3.5L (G-wagon in asia?)

    I think its a wise move by Mitsu to introduce this (kung tuloy nga), since the Pajero is out of reach in terms of price for most of us.

    He confirms that yes, they will be introducing the Mitsubishi Montero Sport locally by January 2005. It will be a 5-seater SUV and powered by a 2.8 Intercooler Turbo Diesel (the same engine on the Pajero Fieldmaster).

    Other specs include:

    - Easy Select 4WD System
    - 4-speed A/T (manual transmission will be available sometime in May)
    - 16-inch wheels
    - front and rear coil spring suspension
    - ABS
    - dual airbags

    Price will be around the 1.5M range.

    Hehehe. 1.5M nga

    It's a pity that Mitsubishi's marketing here is pretty spotty. If they came out with this a couple of years ago, then they'd have gotten a fair share of the market. the challenger has been around and is really quite old. Although pwede pa rin ang 4M40, they could have at least paired it with a 5 speed INVECSII. A power moonroof wont hurt either.

    hmmm, mahihirapan ang mitsu mag benta ng montero especially if the isuzu adventure master (thai rung version) and the toyota sportrider will also be introduced here

    5 seater? old model? 1.5M? well, sa kia sorrento nalang ako :D
