Replying to: piast (Apr 13, 2009 6:28 am) The new design is more minimalistic (not as busy) and, like you've said, more aggressive which could be attractive for a male buyer. I am not sure though if I like it more or less (the previous design is great), but it's definitely fresh and different from copycat Forester.   Perhaps Mitsubishi is trying to come up with a unified recognizable branding which German cars are known for.   I don't think though Mitsu will be able to make models of the same car with a different body design though.

#10 of 72 Yes, I think they are... by iluvmysephia1 Apr 14, 2009 (3:02 pm)
going to a brand-wide look, Kia is doing the same thing, if you look at their new models. To be sure on this new face of the Mitsubishi Outlander, I would want to see one up close and personal. Since I own a 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer GTS, I like the new face of Mitsu, and so I can imagine this look being aggressive and empowering on the new Outlander. I think it will work .   I can't wait to see the 2010 Outlander. Also, I read yesterday that the new Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback will come to the U.S., that being in the summer of 2009. That is nice to see, I guess I was under the idea that the Lancer Sportback might not come here. Good decision, Mitsubishi!

Replying to: piast (Apr 13, 2009 6:28 am) I'm not sure I like the new front end either. I think the one they have now looks good, maybe after three years they feel the need to change it up. Replies to this message: elgatoloco (Apr 23, 2009 6:30 pm)
#12 of 72 I agree... by iluvmysephia1 Apr 14, 2009 (7:11 pm)
that the outgoing face looks good, real good. Again I would need to see the '10 Outlander in person, it gives Outlander a very aggressive and bold front end. Staunch and powerful look, I think it's worth giving it a chance, at least from looking at pictures of it.

Replying to: chelentano (Apr 13, 2009 7:55 am) Very comprehensive information about the 2010 Outlander GT. If this vehicle is being built I guess is going to be only for the American market. For example in Europe no dealer sell Outlander V6 3.0L at all. The majority of Outlanders are Diesel. Australia sell the V6 3.0L but the nose of the Outlander is different.   I wonder if the GT is going to be an addition to the other Outlander models (2100) in the market, e.g. SE, ES, XLS, etc.   I have also noted that the GT comes with signal mirrors, which is good and most probably all the new 2010 Outlanders will add this type of mirrors.

Replying to: batman47 (Apr 22, 2009 11:16 am) i don't think Mitsu could afford making Outlander with 2 different body designs
#15 of 72 You're right... by iluvmysephia1 Apr 23, 2009 (3:14 am)
chelentano, they need to pick one, and they don't want to confuse people, either. They'll go with this one, look for more pics of the '10 Mitsubishi Outlander. It really is starting to grow on me, it's very aggressive looking, like the front of my '08 Mitsubishi Lancer GTS.

Replying to: toomanyfumes (Apr 14, 2009 5:41 pm) I like the new front end. My wife gets beaucoup compliments on our 08 Outlander SE but mostly because of that bright Rally Red paint. A lot of people think it's a Toyota Rav though, because from the side the two vehicles bear a pretty close resemblance.   I think chelentano is correct regarding Mitsubishi creating a "brand" look. Not everyone will like it but it will give the affected vehicle a unique look. Think of the old square Volvo's or the 60s - 70s Saab's. Mitsubishi really needs a brand identity.   I'm assuming that the 4 cylinder models, like I have, will get the new look as well. I like the lines on our 08 but the front end looks a little generic compared to the 2010 model. I can see this new grille on all their models eventually, except that MIEV. That car is plenty unique already.
#17 of 72 The 2010 Mitsubishi i-MiEV... by iluvmysephia1 Apr 24, 2009 (11:09 pm)
will hold to it's "bug eyes" headlamp and front end design look, I think. They've done a great job of giving the all-electric car a unique look, and I don't think they will give it the front-end menacing "jet-fighter" look like the new world order Mitsubishi Lancer/Ralliart/EVO X's have.   But the i-MiEV is not yet built, so Mitsu body designers could still give it that look, it's just I haven't seen it yet in an i-MiEV concept.   Do any of you all worry about Mitsubishi's future in the U.S.? Sure times are tough all around the auto industry, but, I think that Mitsubishi Motors will come through this recession all right. Their products continue to be impressive and very state of the art. I absolutely love my '08 Mitsubishi Lancer GTS, so much so that my next new car purchase front-runner would almost have to be another Mitsubishi. I like the Lancer, Outlander and i-MiEV all enough to consider trading in for new units of any of those three models.   Although, to clarify my position, I only mean one of those vehicles at a time.
#18 of 72 Here's a freshen-up look... by iluvmysephia1 Apr 25, 2009 (5:05 pm)
at the new 2010 Mitsubishi Outlander.     I like pics of this new SUV in "action" on the road like this. Striking looking SUV. It's already won me over.
