2012 Editions to the Mitsubishi Lineup

2012 Mitsubishi vehicles are now in stock, so we'd like to give you some information on which vehicles received major changes for the 2012 year. Check it out! And please click any of the model names to be taken to our online inventory of that model. Unfortunately, we currently don't have any of the 2012 Eclipse models in stock, our apologies. But click through and enjoy the rest of our new Mitsubishi inventory!


There are only a few, very minor changes to the 2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse. It receives a darker wheel finish and a side mirror housing color to match its black roof.

The 2012 Lancer is being released by Mitsubishi with a focus on more wintery states. The SE comes with all-wheel drive, all-wheel control, 16-inch alloy wheels, 2.4L four-cylinder engine and heated seats.

The Lancer Sportback is given a Ralliart-type front fascia and 18-inch wheels. The door trim is treated with an upgraded soft-touch material, while improved trim and sear fabric adjust the interior of the vehicle. In the Touring package there is an available auto-dimming rearview mirror and back-up camera.


On the 2012 Outlander model, an auto-dimming rearview mirror and back-up camera have been added to the SE Premium package and GT Touring package. ES models receive an updated 16-inch wheel cover design and all models receive an ECO indicator light on the instrumental panel.

The Outlander Sport received an updated CVT and 2.0L engine (both to improve acceleration and responsiveness). It has 16-inch covers for the base model and 18-inch alloys for the SE model. The SE Premium package is equipped with an auto-dimming rear view mirror and rear view camera.

Google Maps Adds Current In-Traffic Time to Directions

Google has just announced a new edition to their pre-existing driving directions via Google Maps; real-time traffic updates. Now instead of just looking up directions, users can choose the best route to travel based on traffic conditions at their current travel time. Google also estimates how long it will take the driver to get through the allotted traffic.

This is great! Although it won't be overly helpful for us Vermonters, it's extremely useful for those in metropolitan areas, or to those who are traveling in busier cities. Even though traffic is often inevitable, at least this gives drivers a way to coordinate another route or plan ahead for a long and potentially crowded trip.
