The Mitsubishi Outlander Sport is forgotten by many consumers in the compact CUV market. For example in 2014, Mitsubishi has sold 2,000 – 3,000 Outlander Sport in the US market, making the annual sales figure to be 31,054. Compared to the Honda CR-V, sold 335,019 units in 2014, the CR-V is more than 10 times popular than the Outlander Sport.

For the 2015 model year, Mitsubishi decided to introduce an important enhancement, by introducing the 2.4L MIVEC 4-cylinder engine, producing 168 hp. This is a 20hp jump compared to the 2014 model’s 2.0L engine.

The same 2.4L engine, code name 4B12, has been used on the brand’s larger Outlander SUV for some years...

– Engine: new HKS turbocharger, revised intake/exhaust/cooling system, new ECU tuning, ouput: 473hp

– 5-speed manual transmission
– AWD

As of today, there are a total of 10 generations of the Lancer Evolution made. Due to multiple reasons, Mitsubishi already decided that the 2015 model year is the last year for the Lancer Evo – not only it is the final year of the 10th-gen Evo, but also the very final year for the whole Lancer Evo history.

This is a really sad news for Lancer Evo enthusiasts...

We always hear the idea of leasing cars, or maybe you are already leasing a car at this moment. There are also debates whether leasing or purchasing saves you more money. There is no absolute answer for this question because the final cost depends heavily on your income/expense/tax situations, therefore it is case by case.
