The 2013 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport is one very important presence at this year’s New York Auto Show but for an unusual reason. It’s actually a facelift but it does require some effort and attention to detail to identify the changes that have occurred since we last saw it. The changes are fine, the big story
Mitsubishi launched the new Mirage in Thailand, a model presented last year at the Tokyo Motor Show. The supermini model is 3,7 meters long, 1,6 meters wide and almost 1,5 meters tall. Under the bonnet we find a 1.0-liter MIVEC engine able to return a fuel economy of 3,3 liters/100km. The three-cylinder gasoline engine is
Mitsubishi’s effort with electric cars may not be very popular but they’re quite a few steps into it with their microscopic i-MiEV hatchback. In an effort to popularize both the car and the technological capabilities underneath its simple looking body, the Japanese company will make a spin-off prototype that they’ll be sending up Pikes Peak.
The Japanese have made up their minds; the next version of the Mitsubishi Outlander is going to be unveiled at this March’s Geneva Motor Show. Before that happens though, they’ve given us a decent photo of it so we know what it would look like and part of a press release on what we’ll learn
The Japanese people from Mitsubishi decided that is the right moment to unveil a special edition of the Shogun SUV in the United Kingdom.

It seems that the company decided to replace the 1.6-liter

After a few years of quieting down, it seemed like fate finally caught up with the Mitsubishi Eclipse and it went out of production, but the story goes on. Probably because of frantic customer complaints, requests or orders, there’s a pretty serious, more and more popular rumor that Mitsubishi plans on bringing it back. Nothing
The Japanese at Mitsubishi aren’t exactly known for having a great lineup of cars and, for a few years now, even a complete one that at least covers the basics. After a few talks with Nissan started not that long in the past, it seems that Mitsubishi are climbing their way back into contention on
Mitsubishi’s take into the electric car craze, the i, just received a new price update for 2012 for more or less believable a reason.

Just like any other motor show around the world, the 2011 New York Auto Show isn’t only for big engined muscle cars or gas guzzling Jeeps. Quite the contrary, not only did we get cars of the people like the 2012 Kia Soul and cars for environmentalists like this treat from Mitsubishi, the i Miev.
Due to today’s earthquake and tsunami in Japan, several big car manufacturers had to suspend the activity of their local plants. During this day, Japan has been hit by a devastating 8,9 magnitude earthquake and other several replicas. This major earthquake caused damages of hundred million dollars and has different consequences such as threatening tsunamis.
The Japanese at Mitsubishi are confronting a bit of a PR problem lately and it is easy to see why it’s not going to go away for a while. Apparently the recent public relations disaster is related to how there’s a rumor going round about Mitsubishi’s star product is dying.
Yes fans and addicts, the Geneva Motor Show has opened its doors for 2011 and there’s lots of exciting stuff to see behind them. There’s also plenty of stuff there that doesn’t breathe fire like the Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 or some sort of Pikes Peak contender from Dacia.
We had the rumor, and now we have confirmation from the Japanese at Mitsubishi themselves. The company has decided to shift production of the Outlander Sport to the United States of America, particularly in Normal, Illinois.
