Guess the Outlander Sport's been doing pretty well.

I work sales @ a Mitsu dealership, and I have no f-ing idea why, but I can tell you sales went through the roof last month

I remember one saturday (April 23rd I think) we sold 15 cars, 10 of them Outlander Sports. I had the biggest migraine ever at the end of that long day

was one of the most fun months I've had working for Mitsu. The Outlander Sport is not a bad car, you just need a good salesman who understands the concept behind the design to sell it to customers. Honestly, next to the Evo and RA, it's probably my favorite car to sell.

Awesome man! It's the only other fun/cool car Mitsu has besides the Evo and RA. They also had a pretty good marketing campaign (TV, facebook, etc.) and seemed to have pushed the Outlander hard...though I think it's been like that since November?

Weird month haha.

But hey maybe now Mitsu can spend more $ on Evo development.

^^^ Maybe mitsu can spend some money on upgrading the interior so you don't have to chase around rattles with foam tape. lol

I'm pretty impressed that Mitsu sales are up so much. I see a lot more Lancers on the road now... and that Outlander Sport (we call it RVR in Canada) is a pretty cool little SUV.



Now all they need is a good replacement for the Eclipse and Galant... and they'll be doing good.

Ain't that the truth... I swear, one day I would rarely see another Lancer on the highway/parking lot, then the next day, they're everywhere! People need to stop copying me and buying the same car as I do....

The RVR is selling here in Ottawa, fully loaded and 4WD for 28k is a pretty awesome deal if you ask me.

Its a nice CUV, i just wish they would work on the interior a bit more. All the vehicles across Mitsu look the exact same on the inside...

Good on gas, room for grocerys/trips, 4WD for winter here... it'll do well in Canada like almost any good, cheap 4WD car does.

Too bad they won't give it the RA treatmet... this thing looks like it's itching for boost!

Wait what? That's half the fun! It's like an easter egg hunt!
