| For the 2nd time ever, today I saw an Outlander on road. It should be "spotted" instead of "saw". Looks fine, but the size is similar in looks as that of the Grand Vitara. Like it's not a bull like Safari, Fortuner or Pajero.
On a side note, I still wish the current Pajero lives with better interior, engine and everything, except the current deadly front imposition (as long as it retains the genes).
EDIT:
From the Official Press Release Quote: HM-Mitsubishi unveils Outlander 2010 for the Indian market New Delhi, May 7, 2010: HM-Mitsubishi Motors, one of India’s leading auto manufacturers, unveiled the Outlander 2010 for the India market, today. The much-awaited Outlander 2010 is a comfortable, high-performance car, which lends itself to business purposes, as well as leisure driving. The new Outlander was unveiled by Mr. Vijay Kumar, Executive Vice President and SBU Head – Chennai Car Plant, Hindustan Motors Ltd. in presence of Mr. Rohit Bal, one of India’s leading fashion designers and other senior company officials.
Speaking at the unveil of the Outlander 2010, Mr. Y.V.S Vijay Kumar, said, “The all new Outlander is the outcome of all the feedback we received from our customers over the past one year and it delivers on all counts. With its stylish looks, great performance, plush interiors, innovative features and above all value for money price I am sure it will be as successful in the Indian market as it is worldwide for Mitsubishi. This car can perfectly satisfy the needs our target customers who want a lifestyle vehicle which can also be a fashion statement.

Equipped with a BS-IV compliant 2.4 MIVEC engine, some of the key enhancements in the Outlander 2010 include the jet-fighter front grill, bulged rear bumper, silver-color roof rails and HID Head Lamp with AFS function.
The All Wheel Control system in the Outlander provides for the wheels to be powered individually, which ensures superior handling in all driving conditions. A centrally located dial system, located on the center console, permits free switching between 3 drive modes (2WD, 4WD Auto and 4WD Locked), depending on the driving conditions and the environment. The Anti-lock braking System (ABS) helps prevent wheel lock and maintenance of steer control, while the Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) evenly distributes braking force to the rear wheels, adding to overall safety.
The Outlander 2010 is further enhanced with a theft protection device, alloy brakes and clutch control. The refurbished beige leather interiors enhance the stylishness of the vehicle, along with warm and cool upper glove box, leather-wrapped door trims and instrument panels, the AC control panel knob with chrome ring and high-contract meter combination. The Outlander 2010 is also equipped with technologically advanced 650W Premium Rockford Fosgate sound systems, with 9 speakers in 7 positions.
