1) Diamante
2) Wikipedia.
3) Welcome to AMC
4) Many things are different. JDM versions got double wishbone front suspension and many different engine combinations including a 3L GDI petrol motor and 3L DOHC MIVEC engine. Body is the same but had many different interior and exterior options including rear window wiper.

yes i have the double wishbone setup on the 30M, all the JDM Diamantes are DOHC motors, and all have the twinpot front brakes/ventilated rears, 2nd gen ones anyway (3rd gen magna shape), also they were advanced over earlier, ie my 95 Diamante 30M has traction control, climate air, trip computer, plus the 96 version had satnav etc. oh and the JDM versions have aerial incorperated in rear window, so no damn aerial hole in the rear quarter. NZ new diamantes were aussie made cars, identical to magna/ veradas. Ive heard a rumour on the NZMivec forum that the JDM awds used different components in the drivetrain to aussie versions and were less durable. no idea if this is true.

Some of the parts can be changed over, some can not
