I'm planning to buy a something like a fortuner or smaller but I don't like CRV, Chev, Pajero, or even fortuner. Anybody knows if this Mitsu model will be sold in Thailand later this year or even next year? I can wait....

If you would have looked a few threads down from yours you would have found this link:

While the Mitsubishi RVR will be launching in most markets this year, Mitsubishi Thailand have publicly stated that there will be no new models launched in Thailand until 2012, outside of their eco-car project.

In regards to the RVR, they're main concerns are Thai market acceptance (sales of the Lancer EX range has been below expectations), and the difficulties of getting it to market at a price < 1M Baht - which Mitsubishi says is necessary for any form of success for the model, but very difficult to achieve.

While it's been surrounded by "soft talk" (which indicates a desire to release the model), this type of talk also indicates that it'll never make it.

That doesn't rule out the grey import market of course, but if/when it arrives through that channel you can expect prices to be heading north of 2M Baht..

yeah, i think you are right. this is also the reason why Mitsubishi and Nissan are not selling well in Thailand because they are not taking the risk to bring the models to counter the Toyotas. it's a shame. I like both the mitsu RVR and nissan Qasqhai but I guess there is no chance to buy them in Thailand.
