Replying to: carlitos92 (Sep 17, 2007 5:28 pm) The Outlander is anything but underpowered. |

Replying to: dodo2 (Sep 17, 2007 2:10 pm) True, but this thread doesn't even list the RAV4, so there aren't any RAV4 owners here to defend their vehicle and list the things they like about it. Not really a fair fight, eh? I'm sure one of the first things a RAV4 owner might bring up is resale values, ALG gives the RAV4 a best-possible 5 stars, while the Outlander trails substantially with only 2: https://www.alg.com/deprratings.aspx I looked up Edmunds TCO (Limited AWD for both) and again the RAV4 costs less over 5 years, 55 cents per mile vs. 60 cents per mile on the Mitsu. I will say this - this makes a used Outlander appear to be a rather incredible bargain.

Replying to: ateixeira (Sep 18, 2007 7:24 am) Not really a fair fight, eh? I agree, but HOST is the one in the first place, who brought the comparo article here. This discussion is belong to that thread. >> I'm sure one of the first things a RAV4 owner might bring up is resale values, ALG gives the RAV4 a best-possible 5 stars, while the Outlander trails substantially with only 2: That rating is based on old RAV and 1st generation Outlander. We can only speculate, what the resale value would be for new RAV and new Outlander. Note, for instance, that the owner satisfaction ratings (MSN, Yahoo, Edmunds) dropped for the new RAV, but increased for the new Outlander. >> I will say this - this makes a used Outlander appear to be a rather incredible bargain. Sure, but even the new one, equipped as well as RX350, appear to be a rather incredible bargain.

Replying to: chelentano (Sep 18, 2007 7:51 am) Lease companies actually use ALG ratings to come up with actual residual values. The reason this is important is that when those leases are up, these off-lease vehicles hit the used car market. If you sell yours, you will be competing with those same off-lease used vehicles. The Outlander will be priced lower. The numbers are very real-world applicable for this exact reason. Edmunds' TCO is also for the new models, not the old ones. Plus, the Outlander and RAV4 have been out for a while now, they're not exactly brand new.

Look again, the Saturn Outlook is already on there, and that's newer than the RAV4 or the Outlander. The list is current. The new Outlander is rated at just 2 stars. Off-lease vehicles will be cheap used, a bargain IMO as I stated earlier.

Replying to: ateixeira (Sep 18, 2007 7:56 am) The ALG web site specifically says that the ratings "based on 2006 model year vehicles".

Replying to: chelentano (Sep 18, 2007 8:09 am) It's a bit optimistic to assume those will change dramatically, especially when the off-lease Outlanders hitting the used car market will be priced based on those residuals. Oddly enough, there was no 2006 Saturn Outlook.
