| The new Endeavor is an SUV that I did't need to spend much time with to like. Its overall design either wows or upsets the senses depending on personal taste, exactly what Mitsubishi should want. What's more it performs wonders, indulges each occupant in luxury features and eats up a cornucopia of cargo. |
More important than all of these firsts is the final result. The Endeavor not only targets its youngest average buyer demographic perfectly, it does so with a quality of workmanship and materials that shows a tangible progression over its previous products. The new model is a distinct looking SUV, not cut from the same mold as any in its crowded field, while combining much better than average performance with superb functionality. No doubt the brand's many youthful fans will respond to Mitsubishi's redefined sport utility, and the company will continue its mercurial growth trend.
