new york 2015 if a mitsubishi outlander debuts in the big apple does anyone care

The 2016 Mitsubishi Outlander gets an all new look – and nothing else.

While Mitsubishi touts a quieter ride and an all-new look, the powertrains are carried over. I don’t think that will be enough to keep the Outlander competitive.

The UK experience was that the Outlander PHEV was an unexpected success for its dealers. Mitsubishi expanded its dealer base in the UK (dealers were probably expecting to sell more Mirage etc) and then they had a hit with the Outlander PHEV, instead bringing around a different class of customer, a customer with a desirable car for trade in. http://www.businesscar.co.uk/news/2015/mitsubishi-leads-uk-plug-in-car-market-in-outlander-phev

Makes me kind of sad as a (more or less) satisfied driver of a 2004 Sportback Ralliart. Mitsu has had some fairly cool vehicles, just not lately. My one biggest complaint about the Sportback is the fact they only sold it with an A/T, but I bought it used to begin with. It was sitting rather forlorn at a dealer's lot in and amongst the trucks and SUVs, completely overlooked. Admittedly, I get a fair amount of comments (mostly from younger folks) that wonder if it is a "true" Ralliart. It looks the part, if nothing else...and it's been a great hauler for me when I do doggie-rescue runs.

SCE to AUX With these items under the pros:[list][*]It's quick, though it seems to take the powertrain a second to get sorted when you go from cruising to tromping on it.[/*][*]The powertrain transitions are mostly smooth, though occasionally harsh.[/*][/list]I'd much rather go electric or pure ICE I hate herky-jerky hybrid drivetrains.The list of cons is pretty damning for a new vehicle. Who is buying these things?
Jrhurren Nissan is in a sad state of affairs. Even the Z mentioned, nice though it is, will get passed over 3 times by better vehicles in the category. And that’s pretty much the story of Nissan right now. Zero of their vehicles are competitive in the segment. The only people I know who drive them are company cars that were “take it or leave it”.
Jrhurren I rented a RAV for a 12 day vacation with lots of driving. I walked away from the experience pretty unimpressed. Count me in with Team Honda. Never had a bad one yet
ToolGuy I don't deserve a vehicle like this.
SCE to AUX I see a new Murano to replace the low-volume Murano, and a new trim level for the Rogue. Yawn.
