Interior looks nice with the two tone! Not too over the top but it's a nice change.
The 2015 GT model already has the mirror indicator lights and fender "plugs".

Saw on another site. No LED DRLs on the 2016. Ironic since they were added to the Lancer and Mirage for the upcoming model year.

They apparently will have an OEM accessory set that goes around the foglights though.

The only part that chaged was the front bumper. so anyone can do a swap pretty easily if they wanted to.

I like my 2015 with the led DRL's.

Apparently all trim levels get the 2.4l now. I pray that does not mean premium fuel for all?? BTW, I read that the OS was the third best seller in the last year. This is not going to get them closer to #1 IMHO. WHERE is the great design promised? And when??

Ah. On the 2/2.4 some reports say both are available, others say only the 2.4

I hope the RVR/OS can still share parts with the Lancer. I want that front end on my Lancer!

I don't see why it can't be put on. Looks to me like everything is still the same, superstructure wise. But I can only imagine what it would cost! I bet at least a grand Canadian.

I was wrong - realized controls are the same after driving the OS yesterday. I must have been thinking of the Evo. DUH.

So if I read the mitsu website correctly (vehicles - upcoming 2016 os), the new 2016 no longer has HID as standard unless getting the GT model? That's kind of crap...

Also wondering if / when the lane departure and such will be available in the OS.

Not impressed really.
Like some other models lately, this one seems to have lost it's Pizzazz. I like that they upgraded the mill with the 2.4, but this new design is Poo Poo Platter.

If that's true, then Mitsu really has lost it.
That's one of the best feature in this CUV, second on to the 4WD!
I hate that they are forcing consumers to buy the most expensive model just to have a safety feature like that.

Sort of reminds me of what all domestic car manufacturers use to do, just keep tweaking the exterior trim pieces each year (for 10 years) and calling it a brand new...

Seems like Mitsu is taking a page from them.

Funny thing is that the new Dynamic Shield looks fine (to me) on the Outlander full-size and great on the new Pajero. I think this lipstick on a pig approach is like what they did for the Outlander; dismal sales were the result. Hopefully it will not be long before they do a REAL makeover!

Maybe it's just me, but I think the front end looks like it's been in an accident. I don't care for it at all.
