Yep.  They are next in line to leave North America after Suzuki.

Overall Mitsubishi is rather pointless.  Someone here in Fredericton has decided to just open a new dealership, I expect them to be closed within the next 5 years.  The products that they produce just aren't relevant right now, they're all old, engine power and fuel economy is poor, and it's not like they are blowing anyone away with their design inside or out.  Sure they have a good warranty but that's about all you can good about them.

Here's my top expected changes:
1) Revised styling (duh...)
2) Power bump in the 4-cyl from 166hp to 175hp, V6 to remain unchanged.
3) 'improved CVT' ::)
4) better NVH (as stated)
5) Trim/Pricing updates

Mitsu has cited production issues with the battery for the PHEV with an anticipated delay to April 2016 for first North American deliveries.  I doubt this unveiling will include the PHEV.

Only thing impressive regarding the Mitsu Outlander is their S-AWC .
Past New (8yrs) Car Dealer for : BMW, Lexus, Nissan and Toyota<br />Past Used Vehicle Dealer: All Makes and Models. Seen a lot of it. Drove a lot of it. <br />Four-stroke Otto Engine 1876. Modern timer, pop-up toaster 1919 keep convincing yourself that you have the "latest appliance".

...and ground clearance, and PHEV (once it arrives), and 10-year powertrain warranty...
