Here's a picture of the new 2010 Mitsubishi Outlander EX, about to be released in Japan:

This will be the same vehicle coming down to US, as per this article:

2010 Mitsubishi Outlander caught Uncovered in Monterey!

It features upgraded style and interior bits found on the 2009 Outlander GT Prototype of this year's New York Auto Show;

All I can say is: I want one!... Time to make some babies as an excuse!!!

I wonder if the Evo X Awd system that was in the GT prototype actually made it's way into the outlander!

^ Here's an article about the new trims and equipment for the Outlander:

Turns out SAWC is an option... but not sure if it will be the same in the US.

I'd be interested in the V6 if they can mate that with the TC-SST tranny & SAWC, perhaps make it a mild-hybrid similar to the Honda electric motor-assist system for better torque and fuel economy.

Dont like it, looks way to much like the lancer and not in a good way.

DBallz · Sep 20, 2009, 06:48 AM

I love it. If they lease this thing I'm going to get it for my wife

boondoc · Sep 20, 2009, 12:29 PM

More than likely there will be a lease program.

waroverjp · Sep 23, 2009, 07:56 PM

lifted lancer?

mmartahus · Sep 23, 2009, 08:33 PM

looks sick, i wonder how it will handle and perform, they should put a turbo engine in it

I worked for the dealership when the 07 outlander came out and it handled pretty well compared to the competition. A lot less body roll than u would think in an SUV due especially since it had the aluminum roof. So I'm pretty sure this will handle the same if not better. Turbo would be nice. They even had a concept with a procharger system a few years back but it never made to production

I like the current gens looks way better. Now if they offered it with the evo MR drivetrain, then I might put aside my visual opinion.

and the Outlandish took Civic's CR-V on most comparos I checked around that time

the front doesn't match the side/rear of the car....

XRS · Sep 24, 2009, 06:31 PM

I don't think I've ever seen a mitsubishi with a front end that matches the rear.
