Public service message - the relevant bits of wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitsubishi_Pajero The Mitsubishi Pajero ( /pəˈdʒɛroʊ/; Spanish: [paˈxeɾo]; Japanese パジェロ [padʑeɽo])[1][2] is a sport utility vehicle manufactured by Mitsubishi Motors. It was named after Leopardus pajeros, the Pampas cat which is native to the Patagonia plateau region of southern Argentina.[3] However, since pajero is an offensive term for "wanker" in Spanish,[2] alternative names have been used for many markets overseas. It is known as the Mitsubishi Montero (meaning "mountain hunter"[4]) in Spain, India, and the Americas (excepting Brazil), and as the Mitsubishi Shogun in the United Kingdom. Discontinued in the United States in 2006, the vehicle continues to be sold in the rest of the world in its fourth-generation iteration.
