Default Diff between 2008 LS outlander - 2011 XLS

Hi i am in canada,

What is all the small and biger stuff difference between the 2008 outlander and 2011 XLS


I Know :

- Nose different
- 10 HP More :P ( want 300 HP like the evo )
- S-AWD
- 16 inch wheel to 18 inch wheel for XLS
- HID adaptive headlights
- rain sensing wipers
- leather
- Sound system from 650W to 750 W
- Shift Paddle in Magnesium


Because i want to change my 08 LS for a 2011 XLS ( should have when for the XLS at first, lol )
My goal is to get the last 2011, and get a better deal on them as i know the 2012 are coming soon, and not much new stuff from the 2011.

let me know what you think guy

We just traded in a 08 XLS AWD loaded and got a 2011 GT loaded.

besdes the 10 hp and a few watts the navigation has a bluetooth for iphones, pods and other smart phones. We dont have the 110v inverter not sure if they dropped that. Windows have felt in the rubbers so the new 15% tint wont need to be changed every year due to scratching. The leather interior has many more panels and cushinons done in much better leather n stiching. No more storage area in the top of the dashpad. 18" wheels are different. The Hids have both high and low beam and are absolutly the best I have ever seen. They also can be adjusted up or down inside the car to match the load. The protection package with mud flaps, door sill guards and bumber guards is nice. Passenger visor now has lighted mirror. The inside door handles are chrome as well as the shifter plate. Gauges and cluster big improvment. Now for the S-AWD, by far the biggest improvment. No more funny torque steer and much better handling. No aluminum roof rails on the GT's. Shorter antenna and GPS is now in the front windshield.

Canadian XLS is more loaded than GT so we're lucky.

10 HP difference is mostly nothing, but +11 ft·lbf of torque is really nice.

Device above the mirror is not the GPS, it is combined rain/sunlight sensor.
