2008 Mitsubishi Outlander XLS 4WD Review
The first generation of the Mitsubishi Outlander was introduced back in 2003 and, at the time, it was smaller than most other compact SUVs. Styling and performance sure were interesting, but the size issue always seemed to cast a shadow over these qualities. The automaker wrongfully believed that the market could welcome a new segment between small sedans and compact SUVs; as it turned out, the first Outlander never really managed to stand out in the minds of customers.
