They should have tried more advertising with the last Outlander. The new one is hideous!!

If it wasn't for the Evo IX I would have never purchased a Mitsubishi

You can try and polish a terd but it's still ****. You couldn't give me that POS


Maybe you'll be able to test drive this one w/ your smart phone there's a great way to **** money away on marketing.

Give me a damn break. Junk....

Why can't they make a srt/ss/Amg big **** motor.
They make a commercial showing it broke all these world records, yet it's slow $ looks are subjective.
Why not use the evo drivetrain, it won't be the fastest but at least it would be respected.
SUVs have to be done right, either really big or fast.
Maybe both
Get the meat & potato crowd, the big SUVs sell like amazing considering the price of gas.
Just imagine a boosted outlander as a real sport model,
At least as an option, just saying.

Was around a BMW x6m, that's a real deal SUV.
To bad it's 80k, but the owner said it was the best truck he ever had.
So luxurious , so much power 550hp/550 tq plus his was tuned forgot how much whp it made.
Then I thought of an equal mitsubishi product.
Baha, that's never going to happen.

I mean look at the damn thing the interior is ****. The MDX had a better interior 10+ years ago. Mitsubishi Motors is going to put money into marketing that Really??

Stupid company makes one bad decision after another

If we plan on talking about big powerful SUVs, one cannot help but mention the Porsche Cayenne. Luxurious and ridiculously sporty. Something along those lines but not as expensive, would kill!

the outgoing outlander has some nice interior design. this design is more in line with a honda or toyota. having owned both cadillac escalade and range rover sport current models, it's not bad. mitsubishi shouldn't compete with the likes of luxury cars. it is okay.
