Replying to: sampowers (Nov 16, 2006 1:49 pm) Now, I really like the Outlander and it's at the top of my list, but if it weren't for the fact that I need to get some other bills taken care of first before I invest in a new vehicle I would have probably snatched that Santa Fe up in a jiffy. Personally, I think the Santa Fe is ever so slightly nicer looking exterior-wise, and a whole lot nicer looking than the Outlander interior-wise. On the other hand, the Outlander has a lot of neat extras, options, and bells and whistles that you could never hope to get with the Santa Fe... so it's a toss-up. I've been reading some other recent posts and I have to admit that for some reason the Outlander does seem to have a bit of a mini-van'ish appearance, especially when looked at from the back. At all other viewing angles I still think it looks perfectly fine... but there's just something about the way that the back looks that I don't like. As of right now I'm not sure which of the two vehicles I like more. Being a computer/techie geek puts me in favor of the Outlander, but I also like the look and price (see above) of the Santa Fe. Decisions, decisions... |

But I think at this time I have to compromise to the best overall package which it appears to be the Outlander for me.

Replying to: tester1 (Nov 16, 2006 6:44 pm) I suppose that's my biggest gripe about the Outlander... just that I had expected it to be around $2,000 to $3,000 cheaper than it had actually turned out being for the config that I had wanted. When I saw Mitsu's claims of "fully loaded" for under $30K that's what I had expected... that you could get every available option (sunroof, premium sound, nav system, rear dvd player)and it would still cost less than $30K. This isn't true though... with those options the cost is actually somewhere just shy of $32K. My thought had been that if somebody could get one of these fully-loaded for under $30K (as the early press claims had suggested before the official pricing had been decided) and if one had decided that they didn't need the DVD entertainment system, that would have shaved maybe $1,000 off the price bringing it to around $29,000. But, instead for this config its actually $31,000. Quite a difference. I still don't think the pricing is bad, but an extra $2,000 more than I was expected is enough to make go back to considering other alternatives again.

Replying to: dodo2 (Nov 16, 2006 8:11 pm)  On an off tangent, last week I had called both Mitsu Customer Service and a local Mitsu dealership to get some info about leasing one of these. When I had asked what the "residual value" was the Customer Service rep thought I was speaking in tongue... and the dealership was like "we can't figure that out on the phone... you would need to come in so we could find that information for you." Now, the Mitsu execs know full-well what the intended closed-end lease residual value percentages should be for this truck under given circumstances (the residual is usually a firm amount that gets set at around the same time as a vehicle's pricing is decided upon, based on market trends and such)... but it seems they neglected to pass this important information on to anyone else in the Mitsu family. Maybe the residual value of the new Outlander is TOP SECRET? You know things are bad when a Mistubishi Customer Service Representative has to ask you "Sir? What exacly is residual? I've never heard that term before..." Come on, Mitsu. You've got a fairly decent new vehicle on your hands... now get on the ball!
