    As with last year, some of the press vehicles I drove this year went without a written review (though we did cover them on The Off the Road Again Podcast). Yet these cars, trucks, and SUVs are still worth mentioning, so this post covers them in short format. In chronological order from least to most…

    The 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV is the best-selling PHEV SUV on the planet… and oddly enough, there is some notion of Evo-heritage baked in there. That sounds crazy, I know. But after driving this thing on a race track and getting it to go tail-out through corners, my assumed notions have shifted.

    Having attended high school and college in the northeast in the 1990s, and having been a car geek, my exposure to the import scene was quite formative. Some of the most iconic vehicles of that era were the Diamond-Star Motor cars. The sports cars of that joint venture were the Eagle Talon, the Plymouth Laser,…

    Did you know that there are currently nineteen different plug-in hybrid electric vehicles on sale in the U.S. right now?  Me neither.  In fact, if you asked me to name more than five I couldn’t.  The Volt, Prius Prime, Pacifica, Hyundai Ioniq and the subject for this Quick Spin, the Mitsubishi Outlander.

    Having talked about this car in an earlier Hooniverse post last year, I wanted to finally see it up-close and personal. Mitsubishi’s newest crossover, the Eclipse Cross brings back a familiar name to Mitsu enthusiasts and new car buyers but in a completely different shape. And I think that shape looks quite well.

    Sometime ago I reviewed the Mitsubishi Mirage. I didn’t like it. In fact I called it a turkey. Needless to say, the people at Mitsubishi were not happy about that. A phone call was made and words were said. They could have told me stay away from their vehicles and stick to writing about Ladas. But they didn’t. In…

    What do you do when you’re in rural New York, have the keys to a brand-new car and a few hours to kill before a wedding? You drive! And then write about it. I’ve got the keys to a 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander ES for the next three days and similar to other posts, I always…

    I try to write a review of every car I drive, but this is not always possible. In 2015 for many, mostly personal, reasons I missed a few. One of those was the infamous Mitsubishi Evo. It’s loud. The interior feels at least a decade old. Its five speed manual transmission is a gear short. Its…

    Show of hands…. How many of you knew that this truck has been available in North America for more than a decade? They sell in relatively small numbers, and only in a few key locations. Introducing the 2010 Mitsubishi Fuso FG140 4X4.
