First Drive: 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport
2011 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport - First Drive - Automobile Magazine
Smaller, not sportier.

Don't confuse the 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport with the Mitsubishi Outlander. They share a name, but these two vehicles are distinctly different.

Rather, it's a significantly smaller vehicle that competes in an entirely different segment. With two rows of seats, available all-wheel drive, and a frugal four-cylinder, the Outlander Sport is entering the crowded compact crossover market as a serious latecomer.
