I was in Iceland last year and it’s one of the best-selling cars. But positive posts about Mitsubishi don’t get clicks. :)

Not sure what country you’re in, but in the U.S. the Outlander has always had a V6 option. 

121,046 not-so-serious car buyers in 2019.

A more appropriate song choice may have been Twisted Sister’s “I Wanna Rok(on)”

Why is it a $380 upcharge to go from the aerodynamic front fenders to the reto fenders which look like they came off the back of two Royal Enfields?

This cheating thing is the obvious reason why Mitsubishi’s Expo LRV wasn’t so popular.

Bring back the Metro, you say? That’s purely a Mirage.

Glad you made it back from EJS. I saw “Swiss Cheese” at the Moab Coffee Roasters, by the way. As they say, it’s not an adventure until something goes wrong.

Yes indeed. :)

My knee-jerk reaction is Fiat 500 Abarth, lightly used of course.

I miss mine from time to time, too. I had a 2009 and a 2010, both with manuals. Good little cars for what they were. We ended up trading ours in right before Suzuki pulled out of the market and ended up with a ’13 WRX. The SX4 was the perfect size for us.

This thing has been on Portland’s craigslist for months and months without a significant price change. It was only in the last couple of months that they added the fact it was FWD, likely because of the rash of questions about whether it was the AWD version or not. Too pricey for FWD.

All you have to worry about is throttle.

Actually, no: North America didn’t get the Yaris T-Sport. It was confined to Europe and perhaps Asia. The sportiest Yaris you could buy in The U.S. was the Yaris S (U.S.) or RS (Canada). It was solely an appearance package. Instead, we North Americans got the Scion xD, which was essentially a T-Sport with different…

I don’t know, but I figured it was a shoo-in. I mean really, I never saw these when they were new—hardly ever. There were tons of Mitsubishi Eclipses, Ford Probes, and other FWD ‘90s sport compacts out there, but I rarely ever saw 240SXs. Then drifting happened, and BOOM—even clapped-out versions go for lots of dough.

The 240SX wasn’t very much loved until the drifting thing caught on, and then the resale value exploded faster than a beat KA24DE.

In 2104, it was 23% overall, with 45% of Golf buyers opting for diesel. At least according to this article from last year.

The story goes like this: We wanted a Crosstrek with a manual transmission, and a moonroof. The dealer couldn’t seem to figure out if it was available or not. Through extensive Google searching, it was confirmed that I couldn’t get the combination. Instead, we bought a ‘13 WRX Premium.

I love it. Lots to do, great beer/wine/food, good car/truck scene, not too far from Seattle, Vancouver B.C., even San Fran.
