Was 2G GST ever sold outside USA?

Can someone confirm this for me: 2G Eclipse GST was never sold in Europe?

I've seen turbo dsm's in Italy. Not sure if they were sold by private party's or shipped over
when someone moved there.

I do believe that there were the eclipse CT models sold there but, not exactly sure if they also sold turbo models or not.

Someone will jump in and shed some light on the subject.

The Mitsubishi Eclipse has been in production since 1989 and is produced solely for the United States and Canadian market, where it has also been built as the Eagle Talon and the Plymouth Laser through Mitsubishi Motors Corporation's close relationship with the Chrysler Corporation (now DaimlerChrysler) known as Diamond Star Motors, or DSM. The first generation Mitsubishi Eclipse was available in four trim levels in both FWD and AWD models, but all were equipped with the 4G63 engine, most in the turbocharged (4G63T) variety. The 1st Gen engine (6 bolt crank) was used from 1989-1992. The second generation engine (7 bolt crank) was introduced in 1993, but used in the 1st Gen chassis through 1994. In 1995 there was a major update in styling, including a convertible model called the Spyder. The 7 bolt, 4G63 engine was used until 1999. Both the 1st Gen and 2nd Gen 4G63 engines use the same camshafts, however do not confuse the 4G63 engine with the non-turbo, 420A Chrysler engine that was used in the base FWD Eclipse from 1995 to 1999.

I forgot to mention that i was not talking about private imports, or "unofficial imports" by Mitsubishi, but cars that was supposed to be sold on the European market. Like one version of GS was.
