For clarification MOD started at MMNA headquarters in Cypress CA. When the factory decided to expand it this year they originally planned to go to Normal IL and NJ. We wanted to bring to North Texas and made plans to do so. This quickly got the factory's support. We are an official event on the factories website http://www.whatareyouinto.net/ The iMIev and Outlander Sport are being brought by the factory as dealers do not have access to these cars yet and the factory has hired the same firm (Legacy Marketing) to do this event, that they had hired for MOD in Cypress. So it is an official MOD but it took our input to bring it North Texas.

On a separate note as a Montero enthusiast/owner and someone who enjoys taking every 4x4 trail I can find, I promise to pass on the earlier rant and to continue to work to get either the Montero or the Montero Sport back to the US (I don't think we can expect both, but the new SPort is very nice)
