On page 22 of the January Motor Trend there is an article entitled "The Future of Mitsubishi" One section concerns the Gen IV (cool, Gen IV <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> ). Here is what they had to say:

2007 Montero: It'll be rugged and slab-sided, a traditional looking SUV but like the current model, with independent rear suspension, to fill a market gap left by the flood of crossovers.

Could it be that the next Montero will have a retro design that pays hommage to the Gen I? I have also heard that the Montero may not be coming to the US when it get a redesign. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />

Monteros won't be all out cool until they bring back the 2dr <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/ignore.gif" alt="" /> From what i've read 05 will most likly be the last year for the US. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/angry.gif" alt="" /> Looks like we'll just have to wait for the hyundai gen 1 copies to come out. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Yeah, but do you think they'll be worth a <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/butwiggle.gif" alt="" />?

Of course, something like 100% drivetrain compatability with the original GenI would be the ultimate in cool. Probably no chance though (just because Jeeps could in WWII <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/nana.gif" alt="" />)
