Auto Review: 2012 Mitsubishi Lancer SE
Mitsubishi’s peppy Lancer SE is a sharp-looking, four-passenger car with comfy seats, good economy and good ride, says Ron Amadon.
Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV finally here, heading for Paris this year
Back in 2009, at the Tokyo Motor Show, Mitsubishi teased the world with its PX-MiEV plug-in crossover SUV concept, which was built to compete against the Ford C-MAX Energi, the Volvo V60 Plug-in Hybrid, and many more. However, the trail was left cold with very little word as to whether we could truly expect a plug-in electric Outlander.
Recently however, Mitsubishi has just released a press release in the United Kingdom announcing that the brand will remain aggressive to its new, global and green genera…

With the Mitsubishi i-MiEV electric car, range anxiety is included
Since February we’ve been accumulating miles, little by little, on the tiny all-electric i-MiEV we bought soon after its launch.
In this country, early adopters of electric cars have naturally gravitated to the Nissan Leaf; it has served as the vanguard of the mainstream-branded electric car movement now under way. The Leaf not only hit the market before the i-MiEV, but it is a much better car. When comparably equipped, the Leaf is notably more expensive at $38,100 vs. $33,630. (Subtract $7,500 fede…

Mitsubishi i-MiEV: All electric and lots of fun
Yes, it has its down sides, including a dated dash, and thumbing for a ride if your battery runs out. Despite that, I had a great deal of fun with this little all-electric runabout. Read all about it in the Toronto Star by clicking here.

Mitsubishi Mirage Slated for Canada, Should it Come to the U.S.?
While Mitsubishi killed off the Eclipse, Eclipse Spyder, and Endeavor in the U.S. market last year, there’s a 50-percent chance the automaker’s lineup may soon see some growth. Product planners are mulling whether to bring the subcompact Mitsubishi Mirage to the U.S. market. While the new subcompact car will arrive in the North American market [...]

Junkyard Find: 1984 Mitsubishi Cordia
OK, so I’ve got a silly obsession with the Mitsubishi Cordia. I was only vaguely aware of the Cordia/Tredia back in the 1980s, but since then it has come to symbolize crazy pre-Boredom Era Japanese automotive design plus drive home the point that not all Japanese cars were more reliable than Detroit products back then. So, my heart leaps when I see a Cordia, be it on the street, on the race track… or awaiting a one-way trip to a Chinese steel factory. Here’s a non-turbo Cordia I found in No…

2013 Mitsubishi Outlander Makes its World Premiere in Geneva [61 Photos + Videos]
Two generations and close to a million sales after the introduction of the first Outlander in 2001, Mitsubishi today presented the all-new third iteration of its crossover model at the 82nd Geneva International Motor Show. The shape and styling of the new Outlander won’t come as a surprise to anyone that has been following the news as it was previewed by the Concept PX-MiEV at last December's Tokyo Motor Show. In fact, there are very little differences between the two cars, mainly the softer fron…

Report: Honda Civic interior is least toxic, Mitsubishi Outlander is the worst
The fourth consumer guide to toxic chemicals in cars has just been released by the Ecology Center. Since Americans spend on average 1.5 hours in their vehicles daily, the exposure is looked at as a considerable contribution to indoor pollution.
Reviewing over 200 common vehicles with model years from 2011 and 2012, each was tested for chemicals that are found in components of the interiors, including armrests, dashboards, steering wheels, and seating.
Finding show that the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport is …

Next Mitsubishi Outlander Debuts in Europe, Arriving Here Later [Geneva Auto Show]
Still rather sharp looking, the current Mitsubishi Outlander will be seven years old this spring. That’s about average for an automotive life cycle, and it will come to a close when the company introduces the third-generation Outlander at the 2012 Geneva auto show. (Remember that the Outlander is not the same as the smaller Outlander Sport, which was introduced for 2011.)

Tested: 2012 Mitsubishi i Electric Vehicle
It’s easy to confuse weird with bad. The Mitsubishi i is weird. It looks like a computer mouse. It has windshield wipers that resemble Ultraman’s arms in attack mode. It is powered by a 66-hp electric motor mounted under the rear seats. It carries onboard the energy equivalent of less than half a gallon of gas. Its front tires look like compact spares. We could go on. But despite being weird, the i isn’t bad.
