[quote LEGDG89EF2835BEE]We thought that the Lexus was hit with the ugly stick but after seeing the Mitsubishi I think that the Lexus is quite attractive, relatively speaking.[/quote] This media release arrived in my inbox today. "Tokyo, October 20, 2021 – Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC) announced that the plug-in hybrid EV (PHEV) model of the all-new Outlander – scheduled to be released in Australia next year – won the Good Design Award 2021, run by the Japan Institute of Design Promotion. In selecting the all-new Outlander, the Good Design Award jury commented: 'The all-new Outlander has undergone a complete platform overhaul and has become a PHEV SUV with a large cabin space that can accommodate a third-row seating. The interior and body designs incorporate a horizontal tone for an enhanced feeling of strength and sharpness. Even while offering such a high degree of luxury, road performance, eco-friendliness, and cabin space, Mitsubishi Motors has maintained a reasonable price. SUVs continue to be popular, and we expect the Outlander to be selected by a wide range of users, including people with high environmental awareness.' "
