Although new from stem to stern, the Montero still retained its distinctive character. The body was longer, wider, and lower. The hood and windshield were more angled. Softer corners eased the truck’s former military look. On the up-level SR model, bulging fender flares, reminiscent of the Toyota Land Cruiser’s, accented large tires and alloy wheels. Overall the Montero still emitted a big brawny, muscular appearance, but now more Sylvester Stallone than Hulk Hogan.
baja..good evening to you.
My question, so far, is, do you personally think the Montero (I would prefer the Pajero nameplate) could return to the US? I say Pajero because it is the REAL name of this 4×4 and that it is a near-universal name.
I wonder why isn’t “Pajero” used overseas?
Mitsubishi has to do SOMETHING to stay relevant, so it would not be surprising. Couple that with the absurd popularity of suv’s right now, it makes its own case!
