Front-end cont'd... by lukido

Yes. The sound is definitely more prevalant while turning in reverse. Seems that this problem is not an isolated thing. I will be going to my dealership again tonight. It's not going to be pretty. I'll let you all know how it turns out in regards to getting this problem fixed.
 
As for the Outlander outselling its Toyota and Honda counterparts, I'm not sure. But they did get the jump on them when they released their 2007 version. Mitsubishi has already sold over 5000 Outlanders across Japan. Far exceeding their goal of 3000 units. Looks like a homerun for Mitsubishi. I just hope that this front-end issue doesn't start to rain on their parade.

Well my car is back at the shop, as the day after I picked the car up, I noticed that the Nav 'joystick' had snapped off. It was dark when I picked the car up, so didn't notice then. My wife also noticed that the horn doesn't work! I'll ask the service dept. tomorrow if there are any service bulletins regarding the front end when they call to let me know the car is ready.
 
As for the CDDB, I took a mish-mash of MP3s from different artists and albums and burned them out to an audio CD. This time the Outlander had no idea of the artist, or track name, so there is no CD text string being included with the audio track. I'm thinking the CD had a lucky guess on the first disk based on the number and length of audio tracks on the CD
 
I'll report back after I've spoken to the service chap

Hey LUKIDO, how is the RED color called in Japan?

SO, after browsing the other Outlander models (japan/australian), it looks like we got shafted on a couple of things.
 
1.) Standard cargo cover
2.) Back up camera (japan)
3.) Back up sensors (australia)
4.) Heated/Cooled glove box. You can even see the cutout in the upper box...go look for yourself.
5.) Power folding/heated mirrors
6.) A ton of OEM accessories:

Overall I'm extremely pleased with my XLS AWD. Gripes include: no backup camera, poor pass front legroom, no option for foglight on/off, HDD doesn't store MP3's/WMA's, and no telescopic steering.
 
I love the HID's, Nav, heated seats, and smooth ride.
 
YMMV, etc...

Hey Dodo,
 
The colour is called RED SOLID. I see that it's not available in the US.

Thanks. Indeed, no red shade is available in the US yet, but the rumor is that it will be soon.

Interior by needforspeed29

I love the exterior appearance of the outlander, but based on the pictures I have seen, the interior seems a little cheesy. Does it look better in person because this is the one drawback in deciding whether to buy or not. Any feedback would be appreciated.

I think the interior is very nice and sporty looking, especially the black and beige interior. The seats seem to be very comfortable and suportive. Some of the plastics are hard such as the door panels and the dash, but I think that is what car manufacturers are doing now (it is the same way in my Pontiac Solstice). Sun visors seem to be very cheap as well as the 3rd row seat (I wish there was an option to leave it out and just have an additional storage space like the Santa Fe) and the center console is very small (not like I had in my Murano). Overall, I think you will like it. It is one of my top picks along with the Santa Fe, but I am leaning more toward the Outlander.
