Hello Outlander owners,

I'm shopping the 2016 Outlander have some questions I hope someone here can help clarify/direct me.

1) How different is platform of the current car compare to the last generation? Wiki says both last gen and current are on GS Platform. Not sure if 2016 counts as "current" gen but I don't see Mitus having the finances to invest in a new platform.
2) Any lift kits available? Full suspension lift kits OR minor/affordable lift blocks? Do Lancer suspension components "fit" (not concerning spring rate/damper)?
3) Is the 2.4L MIVEC same engine in the Lancer? Are the engine bay layout (chassis) similar to the Lancer? Would a Lancer 2.4L turbo kit work in the Outlander? Wiki says both cars use the Mitsu GS Platform - this is good!
4) Possible to get the Euro front bumper (looks 100x better). Why does the US have frumpy front clip? The fake lip really decreases the approach angle.
5) What kind of towing have you folks done? Any pics?
6) Can I get the 2.4 with both the PREMIUM and ADVANCE SAFETY package or is it one or the other? Seems I can only pick one package but I don't want the full TOURING package.

Thanks.

 

Seems the Euro bumper that I'm seeing is the PHEV car that is currently avail in Euro and "expected" to be avail in the US this fall as 2017 model! Looks like a nice package, let's see price...
