2011 Mitsubishi Outlander GT?

Autoweek just posted the first few pics of the new Outlander replacement called, imaginatively enough, the Outlander GT. From the photos, it looks like they grafted the nose of the current Lancer into a more slab sided body. The lights look wicked though.

Expect better V-6 and I-4 engines, rumored to have Stop-start technology and direct injection (which older Mitsu cars had).

Domestic Brands and Models I'd Keep

With the ever looming brankruptcy for GM and Chrysler, I can sense that there is some shrewd little Chinaman wiating in the wings to scoop up the spoils. He'll be in an envious position as he can pick and choose what plants, models, and brands he can take. Even more promising, he can keep some new models undergoing testing right now.
