One of the best rival systems--at least in affordable vehicles--comes from an unlikely source: Mitsubishi. The new 2010 Outlander is the first vehicle to get the handy interface. In a way, it figures. Mitsubishi used to have a geeky ..]]> http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1038615_new-mitsubishi-nav-system-includes-free-traffic-service http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1038615_new-mitsubishi-nav-system-includes-free-traffic-service Thu, 19 Nov 2009 12:16:00 -0500 Punch your destination into the navigation system in a new vehicle--especially a luxury-brand model--and you're likely to get more than just driving directions. Many of today's systems alert you of upcoming traffic congestion and even adjust your route on the fly to help avoid it. But there's a catch. Most of the real-time traffic features ..]]> http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1038613_driven-2010-mitsubishi-outlander-gt http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1038613_driven-2010-mitsubishi-outlander-gt Thu, 19 Nov 2009 08:30:00 -0500 In the three years since the second-generation Mitsubishi Outlander first went on sale, Mitsubishi has gone through a sort of identity crisis here in the U.S. market. While the Japanese automaker's compact Lancer models--especially the high-performance Evolution and Ralliart--have been generally well received, Mitsubishi's larger vehicles, ..]]> http://www.thecarconnection.com/fullreview/mitsubishi_lancer-evolution_2010 http://www.thecarconnection.com/fullreview/mitsubishi_lancer-evolution_2010 Fri, 13 Nov 2009 20:15:00 -0500 2010 MITSUBISHI LANCER EVOLUTION STYLING | [8 out of 10] Motor Trend: "Face doesn't look quite as mouth-agape-rocket-sled-guy" Road & Track: "Retains its 'bad-boy racer' spirit" Automobile Magazine: "The interior no longer reeks of Play-skool technology" ConsumerGuide: "The proper interior 'go-fast' pieces are mostly present" In ...

Built off Mitsubishi's new mid-size global platform, the compact crossover will further support the ..]]> http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1036536_2010-mitsubishi-lancer-evolution-mr-touring-pricing-announced http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1036536_2010-mitsubishi-lancer-evolution-mr-touring-pricing-announced Tue, 13 Oct 2009 07:15:00 -0400 Mitsubishi has expanded its 2010 Lancer Evolution range with the new MR Touring model, which goes on sale for $40,990 (not including a $720 destination fee). Sitting at the top of the Lancer Evolution range, the new MR Touring doesn't come cheap but its hefty pricetag is justified somewhat when you consider the performance of the ..]]> http://www.thecarconnection.com/fullreview/mitsubishi_eclipse_2010 http://www.thecarconnection.com/fullreview/mitsubishi_eclipse_2010 Mon, 21 Sep 2009 01:46:00 -0400 2010 MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE STYLING | [7 out of 10] Road & Track: "flair in a market in which flair sells" Motor Trend: "a backside rounder than the Death Star" Popular Mechanics: "open-top version was engineered to be topless from inception" Either as a coupe or convertible , the 2010 Mitsubishi Eclipse's sleek, aggressive ...

It's an ..]]> http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1034002_first-drive-2010-mitsubishi-ralliart-sportback http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1034002_first-drive-2010-mitsubishi-ralliart-sportback Fri, 07 Aug 2009 17:23:00 -0400 Ever since we first saw Mitsubishi's Concept Sportback at the Frankfurt motor show back in 2005, we've been hoping--along with countless rally-sport enthusiasts--to see a hatchback version of the compact sport sedan come to the U.S. this time around. Well, it's finally (almost) arrived; though the top-performance Evo won't be offered as a ..]]> http://www.thecarconnection.com/fullreview/mitsubishi_lancer-evolution_2009 http://www.thecarconnection.com/fullreview/mitsubishi_lancer-evolution_2009 Fri, 07 Aug 2009 08:16:00 -0400 2009 MITSUBISHI LANCER RALLIART STYLING | [8 out of 10] ConsumerGuide: "Dressed up with unique, Evo-like front and rear fascias" Jalopnik: "It's parts-bin engineering, but the good kind" Motor Trend: "Face doesn't look quite as mouth-agape-rocket-sled-guy" There was a time when Subaru's WRX line of turbocharged models was the ...]]> http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1022413_nissan-promises-an-improved-cvt http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1022413_nissan-promises-an-improved-cvt Fri, 24 Jul 2009 08:16:00 -0400 If you want to get an automatic transmission--as most car shoppers prefer--on a Nissan, you'll most likely end up with a CVT. That's, to put it as simply as possible, a belt-and-pulley system rather than gears and hydraulics. Nissan has just announced that the CVT it uses across most of its lineup in place of conventional automatic transmissions ..]]> http://www.thecarconnection.com/fullreview/mitsubishi_eclipse_2009 http://www.thecarconnection.com/fullreview/mitsubishi_eclipse_2009 Thu, 16 Jul 2009 23:56:00 -0400 2009 MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE STYLING | [7 out of 10] Popular Mechanics: "open-top version was engineered to be topless from inception" Motor Trend: "the roof, dash, and door panels seem shrink-wrapped around you" Road & Track: "flair in a market in which flair sells" Motor Trend: "a backside rounder than the Death Star" The ...
