Was about time Mitsubishi, at last Mitsubishi is offering a telescoping steering wheel on the following RVR/ASX. I think this is the first time mitsubishi has offered this. nice Also a push start/stop button

 

Aaahhh, now we need to see if it can be retro-fitted to other models e.g. Evo X.

 

And is this thing out yet? Have any more info?

 

It is now on sale on japan, called the RVR. It will later be released on europe as a 2011 model, and it will be called the ASX. Detailed info is that I know of, only in Japanese, a language I know nothing about. It is supposed to come later to america.Also to mention it has a GIGANTIC sunroof and ambient light. Heres a photo:




Mitsubishi is definitely improving on refinements.

 

very cool stuff, will love to see the peeps retro fit it if possible!

 

40mm, isn't that only like, an inch and a half of adjustment?

 

^ LOL yes but an inch and a half goes a long way when you are sitting in the driver seat.

I, myself dont really have a problem with the steering column on my ix but i can see why some would like this feature.

 

That's what she said! *Rimshot*

The last lexus I was in had something like, 8 inches of telescope...

 

us version too??? we all know the other countries get the goods

 

Here's the video with all features on the Outlander Sport (RVR/ASX)

Sadly I doubt all the features will make it to U.S. market... why? who the F$^# knows, Mitsubishi's administration is one dumb group... regardless of any "cutting features to reduce price" kind of explanation they may come up with...

Edit for a quick pic:

 

I think that front grille competes with the infiniti fx's as most likely to eat the car in front of you.

On another note, is that some kind of sh*tty aerodynamic snorkel coming out of the drivers side fender?

 

Add this to the X.

 

All those features should have been on the X MR Touring already... auto folding mirrors, telescoping steerin wheel, start-stop tech, remote start, etc...

 

Couldn't agree more.

And I think this features will get to the US, but as in japan, only in the highest trim. Maybe the next Evo/Lancer will have an upgraded interior similar to this.

And to xi, that is a mirror from the JDM, it supposedly gives rear visibility without turning your head to the normal rear mirrors

 

No. That is a blind side mirror commonly found on JDM cars.
