00:17 At the 2006 New York Auto Show, Mitsubishi unveiled its

00:20 new 2007 crossover, the Outlander, a new sporty

00:24 crossover, they're calling it, based on their dashboard

00:27 rally heritage, this platform will also underpin the new

00:30 Lancer Evo in the future.

00:31 So this is definitely going to be a driver's vehicle,

00:34 something different in this segment, I think.

00:38 This new 2007 Outlander shows us a clue of where Mitsubishi

00:41 is going with their design.

00:42 It's a little edgier.

00:43 It's got some dramatic lines to it, more dynamic.

00:46 This is the look of Mitsubishi for the future.

00:49 Compared with the outgoing Outlander, this new 2007 model

00:52 is bigger, it's sportier, it's got a new design, it's got a

00:55 bigger, it's sportier, it's got a new V6 engine developing

00:58 220 horsepower, replacing the old 160 horsepower

01:02 four-cylinder engine.

01:04 It's also got an available third row seat for up to seven

01:07 passenger capacity.

01:08 It's got an aluminum roof to lower the CG.

01:10 That lets them put 18-inch wheels as an

01:12 option on the vehicle.

01:13 Some really cool technology like paddle shifters available.

01:16 It's also got a new navigation system.

01:17 It's based on not a DVD, but a hard drive, 30 gigs worth.

01:21 Also got 10 gigs available for music downloads.

01:23 I think a lot of buyers from this young segment are going

01:25 to like that a lot.

01:28 I had dinner last night with the chairman, Niki Osho of

01:30 Mitsubishi Motors.

01:31 And he acknowledged that last year was one of their worst

01:33 years ever.

01:34 But they have introduced a new Eclipse last year.

01:37 They've got this all new 2007 Outlander that's going to push

01:39 the envelope for them.

01:40 This is going to help them find their new direction.

01:43 They've got plans for an exciting new product.

01:45 And this 2007 Outlander is one of them.

01:48 The Outlander for 2007 is already on sale in Japan,

01:50 where it's been a hit already.

01:52 comes to our shores this fall.
