Replying to: comem47 (Nov 06, 2009 7:33 am) 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. Replies to this message: steve_ (Nov 06, 2009 9:51 am)

Replying to: ateixeira (Nov 06, 2009 7:42 am) 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.

Replying to: ateixeira (Nov 05, 2009 2:34 pm) 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. Replies to this message: ateixeira (Nov 09, 2009 1:09 pm) chelentano (Nov 09, 2009 1:35 pm) ateixeira (Nov 09, 2009 1:51 pm) and 1 more...

Replying to: chelentano (Nov 09, 2009 12:58 pm) 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?

Replying to: chelentano (Nov 09, 2009 1:35 pm) 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.

It is also good to know that you don't have any evidence but you "believe" that "Both Outlander and Caliber/Compass are supplied the same AWD system from Borg Warner." But why would you want everybody else to "believe" in that? Hey, be a man and admit that you made it up.

Replying to: tidester (Nov 09, 2009 11:25 pm) Just like the republicans vs democrats always trying to score one for their side vs doing the people's business, in this case they are not bringing something meaningful to the table, only trying to score points. Meanwhile the country is in meltdown.
