Default spanish mitsubishi pajero...?

Not sure if many people know it, but "Pajero" actually means ****** or tosser in spanish. So presumably they have a diferent name in spain and a lot of other countries including america. Does anyone know what they call them?

Also, i think MR2 is called something diferent in france because it would sound a bit like "merde"! Anyone know what thats called there too?

They sell the old boxy shape Shoguns under the brand of "Galloper",

But I think it's just branded as that because some other manfacturerbought the tooling and licence to make it. Can't remember the manufacturer. But I think its Hyundai or something similar, that begins with "H"

Not related to the topic really, but when I first saw one, it made me think WTF

As Ali B says, they're mostly branded as Galloper but there are numerous UK originated vehicles that are Pajeros which causes a few mutterings amongst the Spanish as appropriately they are usually still on UK plates without MOTs etc.

Galloper's were made under licence when Mitsu stopped making that shape Shogun. The Shogun/Pajero was known as the Montero in Spain.
