The Mitsubishi Pajero Owners Club®

[Philco]

I have posted this here because I think its important enough for maximum debate rather than in CHAT where it will eventually be lost

Ian (HSU146) has defined on his Paj website that the term "Super Exceed" has been invented by dealers and doesn't actually exist as a Mitsubishi Model........and having scoured the web for evidence to prove otherwise, I have to agree with him .......I should state that the term "Super Exceed" referred to is in respect of Gen 2 pajero's Mk2, Mk3, & Mk4's .........1991 to 2000............I have looked at any historical lists of Mitsubishi models that I could find and none refer to a "Super Exceed"........only "Exceed"...........for evidence, we would need to look at original Mitsu catalogues and brochures to be sure, and these are pretty thin on the ground..........what I do know is that as an example, the Mk1 pajero was badged if it was a"Super Exceed" as in the example below which is badged "Super Royal Exceed"



Similarly, our cousins with Delica's have "Super Exceed" models and these are badged on the door pillar as such, "Royal Exceed" as in the example below



with the Pajero's from 1991 to 2000, I have only ever seen "Exceed" badges.

Has anybody with a suspect "Super Exceed" Pajero got any evidence that their's is anything but an "Exceed", hyped up by the dealers because of the "extras" it might have

Why not ask Mitsu's PR department?
- they should know

I don't know if this is really worth a debate or not. I think most of us know that there is no such thing as a "Super Exceed" so nothing of any great news there.

Just another ploy by car-dealers (sharks) to get MORE money out of us. When i got my Paj. EXCEED I avoided any dealer that used the term "super exceed"!!!

Does it really matter, in our own minds we all think are pajeros are super, why do you need a badge. Philco take of your anorak

Good point Phil but it's a bit like putting for sale Paj's in here - we've all got them so we are not really the target audience. Similarly how many people get here before buying?

[Philco]

Oh sorry Tim, forgot to say that there are probably a good many existing members out there who are just realising that their pride and joy "Super Exceed" .............isnt

[P3JRO]

Exist or not and most likely invented by dealers, the so called super exceed is more expensive to buy because of the said Leather not the badge.

Personally I think they should be classed as super even if not official. It gives the buyer a clear indication that they are buying an exceed with leather pack nothing else as far as I am aware.

No mate, I may have given the wrong impression.
I agree it's a good idea to let people know - just not sure that this would get to them in time. Not much we can do for those already caught except if they read this in time to demand money back etc.

If I can put in my tuppence worth, All the Japanese auction houses describe the Mk2 2.8 with leather interior as a Super exceed so its not an invention of dealers here. Prior to this most 2.5 exceeds had leather as standard. It might not be a Mitsubishi description ie there are various ways of describing Landrover models besides there official badging.
