Mitsubishi Motors Corporation announced today that it will begin producing its compact crossover vehicle, the RVR called Outlander Sport in USA, as of today, in its Normal production facility, which is located in Illinois.

Up until now, this production facility was dedicated to producing models that were designed for the North-American market such as the Eclipse, Eclipse Spyder, Galant and Endeavor. As of now it will also produce the RVRs for the Canadian market, the Outlander Sport for the U.S. market as well as all versions of these two models that are destined for Russia, the Middle-East, and both North and South America.
