Mitsubishi Outlander Sport News

Mitsubishi's Outlander Sport is neither an Outlander, like its bigger SUV sibling of the same name, nor sporty.

This little truck is, believe it or not, the best selling vehicle in Mitsubishi's North American lineup.

Next month the completely redesigned 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander compact crossover arrives at dealerships.

The Mitsubishi tally is fewer than boutique maker Jaguar Land Rover and not many more than Volkswagen Group's Porsche brand .

The 2,111 units sold is the third-highest-ever total of Outlander Sport sales in a month and marks the eighth consecutive month of sales increases for the fuel-efficient CUV.

Mitsubishi has boldly predicted that based on introducing new models, sales will increase over the last fiscal year, which ended on March 31st.

What's the significance in an automobile name? In many cases - nothing! In the case of the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport, the relevance of the name quickly arises.

Mitsubishi Motors Corp., bolstered by the yen's rapid depreciation, today forecast its operating profits will jump 48 percent in the fiscal year that began April 1, lifted by a favorable yen exchange rate as well as an anticipated U.S. sales surge.
