Mitsubishi is notorious for not being very forthcoming
with information about their IC products. They have a very
sweet dev board for the M32R/D that I tried to obtain. It was
listed as being available from several distributors. However
each one i called said I had to sign some sort of NDA before
I could get it. I finally spoke to a representative at Mitsubishi
who said he could loan one, provided he dropped it off at
our premises, and we signed some kind of agreement.

I've heard similar complaints about the M16C -- people
seem to think it's a nice architecture, but hate the Mitsubishi
sales folk.

If you don't mind my asking, any particular reason for liking
the M32R/D ? ;)
