Here’s proof that Mitsubishi is planning to evolutionarily develop their existing Pajero off-roader rather than building a new model from scratch. Taken just outside the legendary German Nürburgring, our exclusive spy-shots show what’s to become of the next-generation Pajero, scheduled for a launch at the 2007 Detroit Motor Show. It’s going to be more than the usual facelift – but won’t be a complete new model either. While the whole front will be revised, modifications at the rear will be limited to new taillights, a mid-mounted spare-wheel on the rear door and a new skirt and bumper. Today’s characteristic rear wheel arch will be toned down to a narrower layout giving the car a more modern overall look.
Though adapted to the EURO 4 emission regulation, all engines will be left unchanged, allowing European buyers to choose between the 3.5-litre V6 GDI petrol engine with 200 bhp and the 3.2-litre 160-bhp turbodiesel. Japanese customers will again get one more motor to choose from – the 3.0-litre turbodiesel with 115 bhp. Buyers in the U.S. will get the choice between two petrol V6s only: the above mentioned 3.5-litre GDI plus a 3.8-litre V6 developing 218 bhp.
Just got that from: http://tsikot.yehey.com/forums/showthread.php?p=572085#post572085

Did they just say "buyers in the U.S"?
It will be interesting to see what the front will look like. I'm sure there is more head light or other things we cant see by the way it's covered. Pretty cool so far. I hope that IF it is offered in the U.S, that they will offer far more options and accessories and advertise it like they do in other countries. Could this be true?

If it is true they are bringing that over to the US, I bet it will be a different name than the Montero, and why don't the idiots give us a diesel?!?

Sounds like we might see it in the end.

In September 2006 comes the next-generation Pajero (Montero) SUV. This is a critically important newcomer for Mitsubishi across the globe, but it may not land in the U.S. market until the following year.

As noted, they will not be able to compete unless they put the Mivec engine in it.
