Mitsubishi Triton takes Best Pickup Truck, Space Wagon takes Best MPV awards.

Mitsubishi Triton
Triton won the Best Realistic Fuel Economy Pickup Truck, 2.5L Engine Class, and the Best Pickup Truck. While Space Wagon took the Best MPV award.
Triton has found favor with customers for its sedan-like ride, its original exterior and interior design features and the powerful performance delivered by a new diesel engine that uses common rail direct fuel injection technology.
Domestic market sales of the Triton pickup, which was launched in Bangkok on August 25 2005, are growing healthily. In addition, export shipments to Europe (European market name "L200") started in December 2005. As a global strategic model, a full export program to about 140 countries has begun now.
Mitsubishi Grandis Space Wagon
The Space Wagon minivan took the Best MPV award for the second year running, winning the judges' votes for its next-generation minivan qualities that enhance and enrich user lifestyles.
