2010 Mitsubishi Outlander 3.0 GT S-AWD - Mitsubishi Crossover SUV Review - Automobile Magazine
It's a shame Subaru gets all the AWD love since Mitsubishi generally offers a superior system.

I know this sounds like the petulant whine of a performance junkie, but why do Mitsubishi's high-performance Lancers (Ralliart/Evo) get supremely advanced, powerful four-cylinders while the Outlander is stuck with this asthmatic 3.0-liter V-6? Step on the gas, and you hear it furiously pumping air, but don't get a commensurate push in the back.inline_mediumwraptextright28512487/reviews/editors_notebook/1003_2010_mitsubishi_outlander_3_0_gt_s_awd1003_04_z+2010_mitsubishi_outlander_3_0_gT_s-AWD+front_three_quarter_view.jpgTrue

Current Trends in Small Cars – Small is Big

Current Trends in Small Cars - Small is Big
Trend in Small Cars - Hybrid Cars, Compact Cars, Economy Cars - Automobile Magazine
Why carmakers are frantically trying to get small.

Haven't we seen this movie before? Carmakers bring out a flurry of new small entries in response to a sudden rush of demand driven by spiking gas prices. TV talking heads intone that "gasoline is not going to get any cheaper," but then it does, and U.S. car buyers, whose collective memory is about as long as a snail darter's, revert to form and embrace size and power again.inline_mediumwraptextright28341724/features/news/1004_current_trends_in_small_cars1004_06_z+toyota_fT-CH+profile.jpgTrue
