:love: I wish I could buy one.

That said, isn't 2010 the first year for the facelift?

He can't because it's not sold in the US. ;)

So what? Then look for it in Europe. The container-shipping charges Europe-USA are quite cheap this time, so it's not only possible, even not expensive. With investing some time, work and good connections, it will be possible to manage.
Unfortunately I don't have connections to a Mitsubishi-dealer and I'm not very involved in new cars, otherwise I would try to help. ;)

The point is that it's not FMVSS compliant and so cannot be registered in the US. That's the reason why shows like Alias always have those really old European cars...

importing a car into the United States that is not originally sold here is ridiculously hard and expensive. For instance I have a 1997 Pontiac Sunrunner that came from Canada but was only sold here as the Geo Tracker or Suzuki Sidekick. I had to get a letter from GM stating that my Sunrunner (and when I say 'My' Sunrunner I mean My actual one, the letter had to list my VIN and all) meets all US safety regulations for the 1997 model year (which was a pain to get) then I had to have a dealership change the few things that were different (instrument cluster and warning decals) which was expensive as the it had to be done by the dealership (meaning I could not buy the parts used and do it myself) Then I was able to get it titled here, getting insurance on it was not the easiest thing either as most insurance companies here will only insure vehicles that were sold new for the USDM. Now that was on a vehicle that was basically the same as a model sold here so you can imagine how much of a pain it would be to do this with a car not sold here at all.

@tonkaTRACKER: Sounds like grey import that you have done with your car! I guess we have to abide with this stupid USA law :/

It is definitely a pain, I didn't go through all of that on my Canadian Spec GMC Tracker, all I did with that one was change the dashboard (with VIN plate) out to one from a wrecked Geo Tracker that I had and used the Title from the Geo to register the GMC. I don't recommend this though as this way is highly illegal. :no:

@tonkaTRACKER: you're not alone with the VIN-trick. It had happened to others, too. ;)

@ingo yes I am sure there are lots of people that have done this :)

O.k., the problems for getting a registration of private imported cars aren't to arguing away. Expecially with newer cars. In Europe it's also problematical to import newer cars, which doesn't reach the safety- and pollution-rules. So I've heard that there is nearly no chance to get a South African made Citi Golf in traffic.

With classic cars it's much easier. They have to reach the standards from the year, they were brought into traffic (btw. it's not easy to get a registration for a car, which was delivered here, but was stored then somewhere for decades without a regstration. Then you need special permissions and have to do a ot of paperwork).
So when we import classic cars from the USA, we have to change only minor things, as the lamps and so on.

But in the USA it's also easier to get papers and plates for a classic car than for a newer one, or?
See that car from my friend Kurt: http://bringatrailer.com/2010/03/01/first-wet-v-dub-1972-volkswagen-k70/
@rljuna2: it even has got it's Bilux-front lamps.

@ingo: I am sure that it is lot easier to do the paperwork on the older vehicles that is more than 20 years old. Heck, I have seen people brought Aussie cars here without major problem :)

It was years ago when I was living up in Illinois at one time I spotted stinky DDR Trabbi parked at the lot and hell, it was fanastic find for me :king:

I was really surprised, when I saw at my school-exchange to Vancouver in summer 1988, a Volvo 343 parking. It had a regular Canadian plate.

And I was very irritated about the plenty of buckles and dents around. But I found out, where they were from. It had a "München"-sticker on the back - so this car has survived the legendary hail-storm of July 1984 there. :king:

Oh, just this afternoon I saw an original, quite new Japanese (RHD, plate-holders) Mitsubishi Pajero on the Autobahn, with regular German plates.

There very few newer Nissan Skyline, running here (I've seen two of them in the last three years) are original Japanese imports, too. So it's possible somehow to get them in traffic.

@ingo: There you go! Earlier this year I even spotted right hand drive Nissan Skyline going down at I-75 at near downtown Atlanta similar to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:R34gtt.png except this one has red fog light on one side and backup light at the other side in between the plate....

I believe it is easier to get classic cars here as well but I am not sure of the process. I know that it is much easier to import cars to Canada (they have lots of JDM vehicles running around up there) as for the Skyline I have seen a couple here and I know there is a company in California that imports them in volume.

There was an editorial in Car & Driver I think a while aback about how ridiculous it was that a gas-guzzling classic Aussie muscle car was easier to import than, for example, a modern, safe, and fuel-efficient Fiat Panda. In my area, I've seen a couple recent imports over the years such as a Renault Scenic and a Ford Mondeo wagon... but I live near Washington, DC, and they've had Diplomat license plates. Presumably, diplomats follow a different set of rules.

There could be a chance, somehow to bring US-specific car in traffic, which are not classics. I just have thought about the private cars of the GI's, stationated around Frankfurt, Offenbach, Heidelberg, Bitburg and so on. You can see some at local dealers around there.
O.k., it's still the question, if they will be sold to German citizens or further to the export to Russia or Africa.
Sometimes you can see US-cars in US-version with German plates - regular plates, not the "look-a-like"- plates for GI-cars, which shall look like German ones, but are easily to identify by their style and combinations as plates of US-soldiers.

About the import of classic cars, recently there was a big article in my oldtimer-magazine. Finally it's not a big thing, some changes has to be done, mostly with the electric, the lights and so on, but it's not too worse. The rules were getting smoother in the last years. A time ago, you could get in trouble with the TÜV-inspection, when the windows had no safety-logo (it was not usual decades ago in the USA). This was the biggest problems. The electric work is to cope...

Sometimes there are bunches of civil cars of the US Army for sale here: www.vebeg.de Mostly I've seen there Ford Taurus, US-Escorts, even some Tempo's, also some vans. All original US-cars.
With them you'll have annother problem, except the registration-rules and the lack of spare parts (it's very hard to get Taurus- and Tempo-parts here, as they never have been in the Ford-programme here. Same with US-Escorts) - you have to pay import-taxes, as they were running here with US-registrations before they will be sold.
As I cannot remember these cars running here with local plates, I think, most of them were bought by export-dealers and brought to Africa, the Iraq or Afghanistan.

We aren't nasty, so we don't say, that this would an appropriate application for them. :whistle:

So, IS 2010 the first model year for this design, or not?

tonkatracker US

2010-08-04 01:45

I would assume that this would be a 2009 based on the Date of First Registration (29 01 2009)
