So what should be coming new for the outlander 2012 ? Any rumor right now ?
Also what will you like to have


- I will like to have a turbo or supercharge to be able to hit 300 HP
- New engine with direct injection

about you guy ?

 

i say all that and redesign the front a tad to make it look more like the outlander sport.

 

that will be nice, i found the new outlander nose too long, will be nicer if it was like the outlander sport, love it

 

honestly, i dont like the new design, it just looks like they cut the nose off and put on different headlights... But the outlander Sport is a beauty

 

As I understand, the all-new Outlander will come out as a 2013 model year (so probably somewhere in 2012 calendar year). Anyway, I don't think anyone knows any details but from what I understand, Mitsubishi is shifting its strategy from performance cars into MPG efficient cars, especially EV/hybrids. So I don't think we will see a 300HP Outlander, more like a hybrid Outlander. Since now there have been rumors that Mitsubishi is gonna kill the Lancer Evolution ( http://www.autoblog.com/2011/03/02/r...chise-is-dead/ ), I wonder if that also means they will go into new design direction starting with the next generation Lancer/Outlander. I guess there is always a chance that the engines will get direct injection but I would also like to see the interior materials improve a bit (which judging by Outlander Sport will probably happen) as well as outside paint to be of higher quality.

 

I wish they bring some of the RVR nice option to the outlander, like the startup button and all the other small thing , i kind of like the RVR, but dont like the engine, not powerfull enough

 

According to this site, just head light and tail light shaping changes, if I read it correctly:

We will see ...

Any reliable info yet?

 

I work at a Mitsu dealer and I am responsible for ordering the cars. Build out has happened on the 2011's but I haven't heard of any changes for 2012. The first batch will not have the "link system" because of the tsunami but thats it.

We are expecting a plug in hybrid version for 2013.

 

I've been to a dealer who said the 2012 model will have minor tweaks to the head and tail lights, as well as chromatic (Auto-dimming) rear-view Mirror.

Any one know when the new car is expected to be delivered? Feb/March 2012?
I'm assuming this is going to be the last change to the current Outlander range before the 2013 hybrids?
