Mitsubishi Reviews in the News

Outlander Sport review by BengtHalvorsen (Car Connection 12/9/2011 online)
"If you do most of your driving in the city, the 2012 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport is a pleasant, nimble runabout that offers strong value for the money."
"From most angles, it ends up looking more like a tall hatch, and the blunt, sharklike front end looks just as good here as it does in the Outlander and Lancer family."
"Behind the wheel, the Outlander Sport is a lot more like a compact sedan than a larger crossover. There's a light, responsive feel—and not much heft—and we really like the tuning of the electric power steering here (trust us: so many get it wrong)."
"Overall, it feels perkier than the likes of the Scion xD or xB in base tune, yet drives a full class smaller than class leaders like the Honda CR-V or Ford Escape."
"In terms of size and space, there's quite a lot to like here for the practically minded. Although the Outlander Sport is a size (or half-size) smaller than the compact crossover mainstream, it doesn't feel so much so."
"Front seats feel fairly snug but supportive, and in back there's real space for two adults or three kids. The back seats are split 60/40; there's a nice, low cargo floor, and the larger seatback includes a separate, slightly higher-up trunk pass-through that would be good for multiple sets of skis."
"At well under $20k for the base model, the Outlander Sport stands out as a good deal."


LancerEvolution in list of six "seriously sporty AWD sedans" by WarrenClarke (EdmundsInsideLine 12/11/2011 online)
"The Evo is, of course, a Lancer topped with hot sauce. The body is essentially the same, but there's added spice thanks to upgrades like a turbocharged engine (good for 291 hp and 300 lb-ft of torque), chassis reinforcements, beefed-up brakes, a sport-tuned suspension and a bevy of cosmetic nips and tucks."
"In the end, you get a performance monster that roars from 0-60 mph in a scant 4.9 seconds."
"A highly sophisticated all-wheel-drive system keeps the tires moving in the snow."

At Gary Lang Auto Group, we like to share the latest innovations with you.  Here's one from Kia:

The Antenna Hat Trick Kia Forte 5-door is designed to carry hockey players’ bulky gear to and from the rink.

It can handle it all with a custom hockey stick holder that stretches from the trunk forward, in between the seats. 

The power play continues inside as the rear bench seat has been converted to two bucket seats with custom upholstery and there are custom-molded sports bottle drink holders in the center console. Rubberized flooring in the front and rear seating areas simulates the surface found outside the rink, and the action continues off the ice TVs mounted in the front seat headrests wired to a Microsoft® Xbox video game console featuring EA Sports NHL12 video game.

The Kia Forte 5-door is finished with custom ice-metallic gray exterior paint, 18-inch blue alloy wheels, a custom body kit, and Forte Koup front bumper with carbon fiber accents and LED "hockey stick" fog lights, quad-tipped exhaust, carbon fiber roof material and lowered suspension.

The headliner features a built-in hockey coach's play board and the locker room-like rear cargo area features built-in compartments that house four carbon fiber hockey sticks and two jerseys color matched to the exterior of the car, an ice skate rack and glove hooks to dry out sweaty game-used equipment, and custom accent lighting.

Outlander Included by cars.com in Five "Best Tailgating" Vehicles

2012 Mitsubishi Outlander

With football season upon us, Cars.com has compiled a list of the best tailgating vehicles for the 2011-2012 football season.   Gary Lang Mitsubishi is proud to be able to offer you a huge selection of these vehicles.

"Tailgating is one of the best parts of going to a football game and the perfect tailgate can't be a success without the right vehicle," said David Thomas, Cars.com Managing Editor. "These rides have to haul your tailgating gear to the game and often do double duty as a place to sit and entertain. Our list includes vehicles loaded with features that will make your pregame party the envy of other tailgaters."

About the Mitsubishi Outlander, cars.com said, "Most compact SUVs make good tailgating options because of all the cargo space.  The Outlander stands out because its clamshell tailgate extends outward, making loading in and out easy, giving tailgaters a place to sit and providing a cover for bad weather."
