I downloaded the MS Word format of the features list, and it said at the bottom "Features and options subject to change without notice". I went to check the final features list at the product website, and yes, the tonneau cargo cover is no longer listed. too bad. would have been a great extra.

OK... It's Not a Minivan... It looks like one, but it's not.
They always say "Features and options subject to change without notice". They really mean it. Some of my 2006 fitures were not exactly as web site says.
 
Not a Minivan... Whatever makes you happy. ">

Nice picture. This is one spacious COMPACT SUV.

I have a question regarding your interior. I like the beige interior better than the black, but your interior looks different than those that I have seen. The black interior I have seen is totally black with some lighter shades of gray and the beige interior is two tone with black and beige, but the seats are all beige. Your vehicle is two two (balck and beige) but your seats are black. How do you get this combination?

Photo shown is of a pre-production model, so it might not really be available in the market in that configuration

Thanks,
 
I thought it was yours. Have you found any other features that you didn't know about by readig the owners manual?

I did. One time, I was trailing a tractor trailer, and some weird smell started coming in from the outside air through the A/C, so I tried to close the vent and recirculate the air, but I can't. The recirculate button just won't light up. I look it up in the manual, and it turns out, in an auto climate A/C system, you can't recirculate the air if the blower is set to defog the windshield (which was the blower setting at that time). Which actually made sense since recirculating the air will create more fog. This is another "smart" function of the car. May not be true for manual A/C.
 
Most of the other advanced features of the vehicle can be adjusted through the navi screen, if so equipped.
 
Another thing I'd like to mention is the luxury package. I thought I never needed it (Leather seats, powered and heated and HID lamps) but after having it for just a week, I really loved it, and I think it was a worthy option to include. The HID lights offers better illumination, a plus feature I found very useful during the last storm that hit the IL/IN area
 
The Outlander interior insulates well. The leather seats that I thought would be very cold after being parked overnight in a roofed garage (no walls) was actually not that cold. It was cold but tolerable, and when the air heater kicks in, the seat heating can be optional. This is in comparison to my GF's 03 CR-V, parked in the same garage, where the bottled water left in the car turned into ice.

Not that I want to spoil your discovery, but this is how it works in my Mazda3 with manual A/C. Even more, in Mazda, the A/C compressor starts too. You may notice the same in the Outlander so don't be surprised.
Did you happen to look at the LS when you were shopping? Did you notice if it has the utility bars in the cargo area? The original feature list posted by Mitsubishi on their web site had these standard on XLS only. However, I noticed that the LS tested on the cars.com had them.

Yep, first car with auto A/C. What we used to have is the manual A/C, so the recirculate function works even with defog on.
 
About the utility bars, here's a screenshot I found for an LS. Nope, I don't think they have it. The vehicles for early review were mostly product samples, so you'll find weird combos on them. The one featured on Yahoo autos had the tonneau cover you mentioned, so that intrigued me. Went back to the dealer yesterday to get a new temporary vehicle permit, so I got to peek into one of the XLS there, no cargo cover either.

Thanks. I hope they have them as an accessory, even though I did not see them listed.
