Interesting article from AutoGuide.com. I always knew something must have triggered my addiction to the smell of new car and the feel of fresh new leather interior.
It would be interesting to see a similar test done here in Aust and see how Mitsubishi vehicles perform against the others.

That's an ASX. Well I'm as good as cactus, spent a bit of time in a few of them.

But it also scored well in the safety stakes.

CYPRESS, CA, March 14, 2012 --

Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. (MMNA) has seen its eye-catching and versatile 2012 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport compact crossover vehicle named a "Top Safety Pick" by the non-profit vehicle research and crash test ratings agency, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).
