    That might have beaten the CTS-V.

    Well the cg and defied physics makes me lean more toward Electronic Arts.

    At least they tastefully left out Fosters can exhaust.

    Tarmac? That's the best label they could come up with for the non-snow setting?

    And I agree with everyone else about the awful 3rd row. I think that would be a deal killer for anyone that actually needed a 3rd row.

    When they get around to re-styling the rear end, let me know.

    I looked at the 2009 Outlander and it didn't really stand up to the competition in terms of capacity, capability, quality, power or comfort. And I never got a good feeling from that D-pillar. Maybe this refresh will change that, but compared to the 2010 Subaru Outback, I don't think it stands much of a chance.

    Well, they would do well to find Uma Thurman to dance with the car.

    It's a good car, and the stereo (from my experience with a last-gen Outlander) should really, really rock. But I can't come to terms with CUVs in general, and that they are driven by soccer moms who can't quite afford Hummers and Escalades and Range Rovers, and men who can't drive a low car.

    Bourbon milkshakes and very loud John Philips Sousa music at three o'clock in the morning is all just fine with me! And so is this mid-cycle refresh.

    Well done, Mitsubishi. Now fix the damn Galant already.

    I know Mitsubishi needed to update their line to retain interest. So in that regard, this is a logical progression in design language and good for marketing.

    But ultimately, this is essentially just another SUV. I am nonplussed. Someone tell me that Mitsubishi has something new here, because I am missing it.

    I remember what the '05 Outlander looks like - there was a picture of it in Marcellus Wallace's briefcase.

    In other news, I'd drive one of these if it had the EVO engine. Without, I'd pass it by for the cheaper three-pedal Mazda5 (which has a rear seat that doesn't look like it was designed in five minutes so the engineers could get to the bar for happy hour).

    @Maymar: I tried sitting in the 3rd row of a Mazda5 at a car show a couple of years ago. I was pretty impressed that all 6'4" of me could reasonably fit into it.

    Forgot to mention that I've got one of The Snake's Childs & Albert connecting rods, courtesy of a friend who drives the oil-recycling truck that hits all the NorCal race tracks. Pretty cool wall decoration. #celeste

    The main thing I remember about these cars is that in one of their ad campaigns they used the insidious & thoroughly annoying Harry Nilsson song: "Me and My Arrow", which he composed for an animated show called "The Point". Now, just seeing this thread reminded me of that, and I know that stupid song is going to be in my head all morning until I get rolling to run a few errands & have the chance to blast some Dream Theater in the car at 127 db in order to clear my synapses.

    I couldn't find one of the commercials containing that song, but here's a YouTube link to a version of it, if you would like to be annoyed along with me... #celeste

    @HoonThatFerrari: I always thought of the song as charming, but then again I liked Nilsson and can listen to "Coconut" ("she put the lime in the coconut and drank 'em both up") without wincing. Now that I've planted that annoyingly catchy song into your head, maybe you'll forget "Arrow". Maybe I need help.

    There were some people who wanted "Me and My Arrow" banned from the radio. Apparently, they misheard the lyric "Me and my arrow/straighter than narrow" as "straight up and narrow". Nasty little uptight imaginations set to work and interpreted the lines to mean someone talking about their erection.

    The Mitsu-based Arrow was not the first time Chrysler inflicted the name upon us. From 1968 to 1970, a version of the boxy Hillman Hunter was imported as the Sunbeam Arrow. It was pretty dreadful.

    @tonyola: "Lime in the Coconut", huh? Great... thanks.... now that's going to require a lot more than blasting Dream Theater to clear my synapses - that's going to take plugging the Strat directly into the Marshall & wailing on Ritchie Blackmore compositions 'til 3am. #celeste
