I was curious as to whether or not the Avalanche is sold anywhere but in North America? I've seen posts here from Canadian and US owners, but what about Mexico?

About ten years ago, I was in Iceland on business. I was surprised to see that the person I was meeting drove around in a full-size Chevy pickup truck. 99% of vehicles in Iceland were Japanese or European.

Anybody know where else the Av is marketed and if so, what volume they sell there?
 
Couldn't tell you if any of these folks own Avalanches - but this site has sparked a lot of overseas interest since it was launched. Data is from January 15 to March 27...

I spotted two in Aruba (Caribean near Venezuela) and mentioned it under Vacations. I have yet to get my pictures developed but promise to post a pic when I do.

I was surprised as well.
 
I like the Russian Federation interest - must be a spin on the "Stripes" movie - The AV would be great for picking up dates in Minsk! ;D
 
You sure they weren't bought in the US, and just driven to Mexico where the owner lives? It would be very easy to do in San Diego....
 
I recently saw an Orange Av in Germany. It was hard to determine if it was a Z-66 or Z-71 due to the 60 some odd people around it. It is owned by a dude in the Army and stationed there.
 
I will be going on vacation to Portugal this year so I'll see what the deal is with the Av's over in that part of Europe....

Maybe I'll take some brochures with me just in case... ;)
 
Hi All,

The Avy is Not Offically sold down here in AUSTRALIA, But there are a few conversion shops doing a great trade in Importing and converting Avy's (and others) to RHD......

Its not cheap to have done, but at least we can

At the rate the company I am using to convert mine, is pumping out RHD Avy's, there will nearly be enough for a decent GTG

Only 3 weeks to go
