Replying to: psychogun (Nov 12, 2009 9:46 pm) A decade, but I killed my TV.  I notice that there's currently a Mazda ad in the right sidebar here (obviously they need to buy a bunch of ads from Edmunds). It's been 60 years since WWII, so I really have to wonder if Pearl Harbor is much of a factor (if people have heard of Mitsu, they still probably don't know that they made the Zero). The last batch of PR problems was the sex discrimination case that cost Mitsu a small fortune, both in cash and goodwill. But I hear even less of that than the "Japanese" comments. I dunno - the conglomerate is so big maybe they're just too unwieldy (just now learned that they own Nikon; had no idea). You'd think that the 5/60, 10/100 warranties would help but you don't hear much about them either - it's always Hyundai. Maybe the cars seem too boy-racer for most people? And the cheapest Lancer is still thousands more expensive than a base Versa or Accent (ignoring size and feature content). Iluvmysephia1 is always posting links to their concept and electric cars. Maybe it's going to take one of those "halo" cars to finally get some traffic into the showrooms. Or a free D40 in every glovebox. |

cost on the 2010 Outlander. Most use satellite radio companies to get their traffic reports. And once the free trial period runs out you have to pay a monthly fee. Mitsubishi is an exception. Instead of satellite radio providers, it’s using RDS traffic data, broadcast over the air in most major metro areas and used by some aftermarket nav devices, for its improved, next-generation nav system that first appears in the 2010 Outlander. The result with this Mitsubishi Electric system—which will follow in the Lancer family next year—is much like the subscription services; you get color-coded maps that highlight congestion, and the nav system itself has dynamic rerouting functions.  http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1038615_new-mitsubishi-nav-system-i- - - - - ncludes-free-traffic-service

Outlander GT. All of the following would be great to have. Techno geeks will be thrilled by all the gizmos Mitsu's packed into the new Outlander GT. For starters is the brand's new FUSE handsfree "media gateway," a direct shot across SYNC's bow. With FUSE you get full voice recognition access to all your tunes, whether it be contained on an iPod, CD or a USB stick. Phone integration is handled via Bluetooth 2.0 and can support multiple phones. You also get a 40-gig hard drive that instantly rips tunes the second you insert a CD. The Navigation system is quite good (both to look at and in terms of user friendliness) and now has real time traffic updates. Our favorite feature was actually the "Environment" button, which not only included an altimeter (useful when climbing from Palm Spring's 750 feet above sea level to the surrounding mountains' 6,300 feet) that logged previous elevations but displayed them as a chart, so you can see how high up you've been. Necessary? Not at all, but we loved it.
