I bought this vehicle in 2004 from its second owner, a Disney engineer in Orlando, FL. The original owner was his sister, who racked up impressive mileage on a commute between Orland and Miami. I think it had 125,000 when I bought it. My focus, except for the 1999 front end, has been almost entirely on performance mods. There is a well understood upgrade path for this vehicle, and my objective was to make it an eye-watering daily driver. After one unfortunate experience with a crocked guy in Los Angeles, I finally had extensive upgrades done by Matt Monet of Dynamic Racing in Alamogordo, NM. I had a second round of upgrades done by FSR (Four Season Racing) in Montclair, CA. I’ve invested way too much money in making it really quick, at the expense of postponing many convenience and appearance mods. The pictures show some of the defects. Were I going to keep it, I'd upgrade the seats to light-weight racing seats, remove the rear seats entirely (no one could fit back there anyway), and replace the stock rims with Volks or similar. This car is incredibly quick, and I've come close several times to getting into trouble with it. I was over 50 when I bought it and although I had a clean driving record with no tickets or accidents, I still found the responsiveness and acceleration to be very seductive. Consequently, my preferred buyer will be over 40, and I'm prepared to offer a discount of several thousand dollars to encourage that buyer over younger buyers. |

Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV US launch delayed over battery shortage
Mon, 30 Dec 2013Mitsubishi resumed full-scale battery production in August after a five-month shutdown due to a safety investigation. Supplier Lithium Energy Japan has been delivering 4,000 battery packs each month since September, but that's apparently still not enough to fill the overseas inventory pipeline for the Outlander PHEV and i subcompact EV while launching the Outlander PHEV here in the US. So instead of the previous tentative launch date of Fall 2014, the plug-in hybrid's Stateside on-sale date has been pushed back until 2015.
That's according to Automotive News, which also notes that Mitsubishi has sold 11,300 plug-in Outlanders this year, though that number reflects the production stoppage over the battery issues. As of April, battery supplier LEJ will be able to supply 5,000 packs per month just for the Outlander, but company president Osamu Masuko has gone on record saying that production will have to rise above that in order to make the US launch.
Every Mitsubishi dealer (and hopefully a fair number of consumers) will be looking forward to a crossover that, for the moment, doesn't really have natural rivals. The Outlander PHEV can drive 32 miles on electricity alone, has a top speed of 75 miles per hour in EV mode and offers all-wheel drive with a towing capacity of over 3,000 pounds. The model should get an impressive MPGe rating from the EPA when it finally arrives and it figures to be a bellwether for the plug-in Outlander Sport and Pajero utility vehicles that are expected to arrive after it. Hopefully 2015 will be its year.
Mitsubishi Ground Tourer Concept will show next-gen PHEV ideas in Paris
Tue, Jun 28 2016Mitsubishi still hasn't released the Outlander PHEV here in the US, but we're already going to get a potential preview of the company's next large plug-in hybrid at the Paris Motor Show this fall. Mitsubishi has released a side-profile teaser image of the Ground Tourer Concept, which the company says "further expresses" Mitsubishi's flagship PHEV technology. It's got a floating red roof with sharp angles on the back and a cool silver body. It's certainly early for a Paris tease, but we'll take what we can get when it comes to more large plug-in vehicles.
