That's how I was introduced to Montys/Pajeros. The Army had a bunch they had brought back from the first Gulf War and were using them for officer vehicles in Germany. My buddy was a driver for the G3, and we used romp around in his Pajero. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I bought mine the same year in K-town.

Just to put it to rest - in this thread at least:

There is a feline, scientifically classified as Oncifelis colocolo, which is known in Spanish as the gato pajero (ægrass catÆ) or gato de las pampas (æPampas catÆ). It is similiar to the ocelot and hunts small animals in the reeds and grasslands of South America. There are several subspecies, including Oncifelis colocolo colocolo found in central Chile and Oncifelis colocolo pajeros found in central Argentina. In this official press release in Japanese (media.mitsubishi-motors.com/pressrelease/j/products/detail310.html), Mitsubishi explains that they got the name for the vehicle from the latter subspecies, which they call by its short name Felis pajeros. The Pampas cat featured on the emblem on early Pajero SUVs.

I don't know if they were expecting a vehicle like the BMW X5 and the likes for this review, as I don't understand why they cry so much about the diesel engine being underpowered.

The torque output for the 3.2 diesel is higher than that of the 3.8 gas engine, and it "only" puts out like 172hp, but diesels are not made to run fast, but to haul heavy loads and work hard.

your right DIESEL LAND SPEED RECORD just one of many. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
