Rebadged Outlander maybe?

[SXLancerMum]

Hi all

I was wandering down the street this morning and there was a Peugeot SUV thingy parked there. It was identical to the new Outlander. Even had a squarish looking nose. Hubby thought it was an Outlander until he saw the Peugeot badge. Even the interior looked like a Mitsubishi.

Either Peugeot are rebadging Outlanders as a Peugeot or they had the same ideas as Mitsubishi. They look too much alike.

They are sharing the platforms. There are differences though.

That is how Mitsu introduced a diesel into the Outlander, in other international markets

Here is a drive article... http://www.drive.com.au/Editorial/Artic ... leID=68843

Citroen C-Crosser is also an Outlander underneath.

I knew there was another, but couldn't remember what it was called.

Thanks for that Shane and Danny. I'm glad I wasn't going mad seeing Mitsubishis where I shouldn't be

Add to that the Great Wall that's using old Outlander engines then the Outlander isn't too bad eh if everyone wants their bits.

I reckon they can keep the Peugeot though. According to that Drive article it's more expensive with less features for what is essentially the same car. Go Mitsubishi

Also did you realise that Mitsubishi make the Space Rockets for the Japanese Space program. I was watching one of those Discovery shows and there were lots of little Mitsubishi men making things and doing the rockets.

My friend's family bought a peugot/outlander. You pay quite a bit more just for a badge and a diesal engine. Largely defeats the point of buying a diesal car...

I thought 'that interior looks familiar', and they let me sit in it and I said 'haha its just like my car, what did you pay for it?'

I actually wanted the Outlander last year. I just couldn't really justify spending the extra $10k and it was also my first car, so I wanted something easier to drive.

It's very possible that the next generation Outlander would be on my wish list.

I had an 05 Outlander.

If anything I found it easier to drive due to having better visibility.

Yeah it turns out the Foresters at my workplace are heaps easier to drive, particularly in reverse. I don't need sensors in the Forester whereas I really need it in the Lancer.
Good looks come at a price I suppose. A low boot would cause the Lancer to look like a Tiida :S

Verdict: Peugeot's first SUV is an Outlander clone with a higher price tag and lower feature count.
