2010 Outlander

[VR4sum]

Thought I'd start a new thread on the new 2010 Mitsubishi Outlander.
When I first saw the ad I actually rewound it saying 'wtf is that?':huh:
First thing I thought was how lazy the mitsi designers are getting. This would have to be the first instance I can think of off the top of my head where a manufacturer has just banged the front end of one model onto another existing model and gone 'sweet, there's the new shape' But then I guess if you're onto a good thing, stick to it.
Personally I think it can work, but does not in standard form.
(for the record I LOVE the old outlander)

Anyway, leave it open to discussion, interested to hear what people think.
BUT before you judge...
Found this GT version which I think looks brilliant!

....now if only there was a 6A13TT conversion kit....

I really like it. Personally I think the big pity with the Outlander was that they haven't released the engine out of the EVOlander yet, which is a V6 6B31 Supercharged with about 240kw and 440nm of torque.

Ohh and with a manual gearbox of course!

EVOlander? What? who?
Is this just a name you have given it or is there actually a prototype outlander running the above engine and box?
'Cause if this EVOlander exists, where does the queue start?

NO diesel here in Oz either.

Big poo. :sneaky2:

In Europe you can get two diseasels, of which the only redeeming feature as far as I can tell is that they are available with 6 speed manuals.

Hmm, I like it from the end of the head lights back.. I always liked the older Outlander, but now it looks just like a Lancer!

WOuldn't think you'd like that Brad ?

"6-speed automatic"

Also, only 300hp from a forced induction 3L V6 ?

Did it get past the concept stage ?

 

[Tom]

Would probably be deliberately underpowered like most factory released forced inducted vehicles..

Where as you can then easily bring out the extra power from a tune/slight mods? Probably for matching it with other cars in their class, or maybe some power-weight things or something? Like import rules, or rules in the country for companies selling cars?

I have seen 2 of these new outlanders since seeing this topic.. I really don't like the whole Lancer front end thing, I like the previous model so much more!

I like the previous model so much more!

True........Previous model look better!!!!


Also Mitsi designers are definitely getting lazy i guess..COLT & OUTLANDER both have the Lancer front end!! :thumbdown::thumbdown::thumbdown:


Did you guys see the Ad that they have come up for the Outlander!! Actually I like that one!! Not the Outlander itself though!!!!!

Oh and why don't we get the EVOLander here!!! Looks tough!!!
