I think you are refering to the "Evolander" edition:

Shambala, thanx for the link to the vid on the "Evolander".
I've heard of it but never seen it before.
Would love to see them go public with it, doubt it though.
Listen, I just wanted to post a link: http://media.mitsubishicars.com/deta...7&mime=ASC
that I think you will find informative, especially the info in the first paragraph.
The Lancer, Evo, and Outlander do in fact share the same global platform, however I did make an error
and state thatthey share the same chassis.
Not sure if a platform is considered a chassis in this day and age ??? lol,lol,lol
All the best, Russ

 

Before buying you may want to look into these:

http://www.mitsubishicars.com/MMNA/j...0019&loc=en-us

or

http://www.mitsubishicars.com/MMNA/jsp/specialoffers.do

You can get anywhere from $500 off your purchase to $1000 in free gas to $2000 money back...

Maybe another reason to look at the Outlander again... [&:]


When I got mine I got $750 in free gas... I still have like $500 left...

 

1. I live in Washington State, I currently drive an 06 Maliboo Maxx (Yes i know its Malibu). With That i Drive over Snoqualmie 2x a month, so needless to say I put on about 30000 miles a year. My question is how does the Outlander perform uphill, i don't want weak acceleration up a hill.

I dont know about big hills but i have taken it up some seasonal roads and smaller hills with no problems (V6)

2. What is the thing you hate/Don't Like the most about the Outie?

like the driver's side cupholder and the tilt and reclining second row seats the most. I dont like that there are no automatic wipers or lights but it seems this problem will be fixed in the next model years.

3. Does the Outie share is platform with any other Mitsu Models?

I think it shares its platform with the lancer or so the dealer tells me.

4. Does anyone do any towing with these. And how much? I will be towing a jet-ski randomly throughout the summer. How does the drive differ when your towing?

I towed pretty close to the outties limit this summer and it towed the 3000 pounds pretty easily. From what I've experienced the drive does not differ very much i.e. acceleration remains pretty similar and it does not feel like the outties laboring.

5. Does the Rockford Fosgate System have an Ipod interface(or is that just the Nav Setup) and who is the head units manufacturer?

No, and I don't know.

6. Anyone with an 08 SE look to see if it possible to put in the 3rd Row Seat from an XLS? (May just have to go 09 if not)

-

7. After initial break in period for those that highway drive these a lot what is your average MPG?

24-25 mpg at 70 mph. At the speed limit(55 mph) I can get from 27-29 mpg.

8. Any weird CVT issues appear? The Rogue seems to have a possible rattle coming from the tranny that requires a replacement tranny.

No problems so far (8000 mi.)

9. The 4 banger thats in it, does any other model of Mitsu use it, is it the 4b12?

In my area, they advertise the four banger as if it is used in all their other models.

 

Another potential payer here. i live in europe. so its 2000cc diesel engines here.
do you know Any group test with other suv s?

 

From Europe.... the best medium SUV money can buy, Citroen & Peugeot share the same platform (& not only). The 4 banger powerful enough but not as much as my previous Ford Escape V6 203hp, concerning uphill drives. On the other hand very sportslike driving able, the CVT is great.
If you want it for off road use take the 16" rims not the 18" , thus you will have a much greater options for tires.

 

thenx man for the input I am from cyprus and as i mentioned over here we have the VW engine which produce 138bhp. The 2009 will be offered with the 2.2 also. I dont want a rocked ship i just want a car that will have good drive when going with the family on the mountains for overtaking.
any expirience on the 2000cc engine?

 

Don't have personal experience but car tests here suggest the diesel 2.2 engine much, much better, may be mated with double clutch.

 

yes i know its much better, but so does 10000euros. (the citroen and the 4007 costs 10000euro more than the outlader with the 2000cc eggine)
what i am looking for is if the 2000cc is good enough
