I keep coming back to Mitsubishi, I am sure they put some addictive chemical in the interior plastics.

The new Outlander though is a damn cool little trucklet, so far we are really happy with it. Mitsu crammed pretty much every new techno gizmo in it that is currently available.

Hey Fraser the wife and I almost bought an Outlander but it was outta our price range, instead we got the Xterra. Love that supercharger and a 5spd. How is it holding up?

It has been 7 months and we are still on the $1000 esso gas card they gave us, no problems at all. Lifetime free oil changes every 3000km is hilarious.. no tax/fees nothing.. the awd configuration is really good with a rwd bias in full lock (70rear 30front.)  All my wifes friends love it to , they never know what tyhe heck it is.

I bought it new with the intent to keep it 10 years , as it has a 10 year limited warrenty, along with the 5 year bumper to bumper.. front rear dvd, 30gig touch screen Hard drive based navi. sat radio. bluetooth. It drives way better than the Rav4 I took out too, alum roof to lower the c of g. tuned suspension with tuned exhaust (hah, rumbles)
Mitsu blew their collective wad on this design .
