MisterZ ◊ 2016-02-13 15:40	@dsl - this is filmed in NZ, but this is a JDM-spec Diamante, not built in Australia. It has the short rear bumper (AU-built models have a longer bumper to comply with US standards). AU built models also have a side reflector on the rear bumper, which this one lacks. This is a 1997+ due to the updated tail-lights (these lights were introduced in Japan in August 1997, but we didn't receive them in Australia on the Verada until March 1999, and the USA didn't get them at all). https://www.mitsubishi-motors.com/en/corporate/pressrelease/products/detail486.html -- Last edit: 2019-07-18 04:44:41
