Remember you said the iPod interface was not a factory option?
 
Use your own link, the XT priced at $30,116 indeed has the iPod interface.

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.

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!!!

A little off topic, but an enlightening episode for those who may have not seen it:

The posts were moved from another thread.
 
It all started when the OP asked about the Forester and Santa Fe ... I have no idea why the Outlander even became part of the conversation. It was a major detour.
 
Now at least it's in the right thread.

The Outlander was part of the conversation because it's a direct competitor to the Forester and the rest of them in the Crossover SUV Comparison discussion. It did get a bit two-sided there though.
 
It was more like Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra to me, Comem47.

Oh no, I did not say that about iPod.
 
You however said that "Both Outlander and Caliber/Compass are supplied the same AWD system from Borg Warner", but you still did not provide any info. The link you posted has no mention of Outlander.

It's a joint venture, and it's not like Chrysler is going to say "we used a Mitsubishi engine" or Hyundai is going to say "we sourced a shared Borg Warner AWD system" or Mitsu will say "we all sourced the CVT from JATCO".
 
Instead each will put their own tag on it, trying to brand it as their own, hiding the origin of those components.

.
Oh, I see, so you don't have any proof. You just made an assumption, but presented this as fact that all 3 cars "are supplied the same AWD system from Borg Warner"! Why would you do that?
 
Do you have at least a link which would confirm that 2007 or 2010 generation of Outlander is a part of a "joint venture" with Chrysler?

Joint ventures make sense because economies of scale allow each of the 3 to share costs. They used a Mitsu engine, a Borg Warner AWD system, and a CVT supplied by JATCO. It's cost-efficient.
 
If you'd like to believe something else, that's fine with me.
