I picked up my '12 GT S-AWC a couple of weeks ago and as far as I can tell, these are the only differences from the '11s:
-Auto-dimming rearview mirror (SE Premium or GT Touring PKG only)
-S-AWC is now optional on the GT
-FUSE is no longer included with the RF system but is now a paid option
-New packages: LED illumination PKG (floor and tailgate lighting, same as the Sport), Exterior PKG (large rear spoiler [I think this is new] and GT graphic)
No huge differences, par for the coarse for Mitsu.

Phatty~ So now that you've had your '12 Outlander for a few weeks...what's your overall evaluation inside & out? As you expected? Worse or better than expected?
As you might have seen from a post or two of mine on here, I'm right on the edge of "pullin' the trigger on this puppy" (please...no letters from PETA members!!!), and so feedback from someone who's just bought the same year and trim level I'm look at is a BIG help in the decision making process....

2012 Outlander GT S-AWC vs. Nissan Murano
Rescue9,
In summary I (we) really like the Outlander! It has everything we need and we hope it will be a great vehicle (only 1,100 miles so far). Our fingers are crossed on the reliability (since Mitsu isn't a major manufacturer it's hard to find unbiased reliability data), but their warranty is outstanding. We ended up paying $700 below invoice using Consumer's Checkbook CarBargains.
In more depth, we're a couple of 30-year-olds coming from a 1st generation Nissan Murano. The Murano is in a higher class than the Outlander so it's a bit of an unfair comparison, but in many ways they are similar (size, power, features, options). Plus I think it's good to compare up in order to recognize value. Although I list several shortcomings, understand I consider them to be minor.
What I miss about my old Murano:
What I like about the V6 Outlander GT:
We haven't had any snow yet so I've yet to use the S-AWC. Having an active front differential is a big improvement over the flimsy AWD the Murano had. The only thing it did well was leak oil.
I hope that helps! Let me know if you have other questions.

Phatty~ I couldn't have asked for a more outstanding summary and Pros & Cons of the Outlander! FANTASTIC!
It sounds like you'd make this decision again, despite some of those things that you're not totally keen on.
You've given me a LOT to think about as I try to make my decision as to which new wheels to buy.
THANKS!
