Jeep wants to sell cars, yet they have to admit - that system just doesn't cut it. They cannot endorse a vehicle they sell. The Mitsu turbo is so-so, a ball bearing turbo is a common upgrade for the EJ257. Mitsubishi can build great turbos, too bad the Outlander doesn't get one!

Replying to: ateixeira (Nov 05, 2009 12:50 pm) I did not say quickness alone is enough for a car to be exciting. Exciting car is usually a balanced package. Sorry, but none of Subarus could get even close to the ML350 in terms of excitement.

Replying to: chelentano (Nov 05, 2009 1:19 pm) You say things like "I called my Subaru dealer" and rarely provide links. Where's that dealer's site with an inventory? Again, Mitsu should put a turbo on the Outlander, then maybe it would deserve the "GT" nomenclature.

Replying to: ateixeira (Nov 05, 2009 1:18 pm) Slalom is a combination of handling and quickness. Outlander passes cars in a busy traffic with great confidence and ease: fun to drive. Does these add excitement for you: dated tranny, cheap interior, cheap audio, lack of modern tech, borrowed styling? For me a balanced package is more then you've mentioned. |

Replying to: ateixeira (Nov 05, 2009 1:22 pm) No, that link does not have any info that "Both Outlander and Caliber/Compass are supplied the same AWD system from Borg Warner", so it appears to be just your specuation. This is a link to my local Subaru dealer: http://www.evanston.subaru.com/index.htm

I don't check this group for a few days and WWIII has broken out in the mean time !!! (19 new messages) Reminds me of a Star Trek episode "Let this be your last battlefield" where Bele and Lokai who are the last survivors of a race war (both 1/2 black and 1/2 white, but the mirror image of each other) are still keeping up the battle after everyone else is dead on their planets -fighting over who is more superior. http://tinyurl.com/belelokai I think you two can agree to disagree. Now if this much energy went into solving the country's problems we'd have it beat!!!
