Platform sharing

Now I know the outi shares its platform with many other cars including the upcoming lancer, wich claims to be stiffer than any previous gen evo's. But just how far does this platform sharing is stretching? I just found out about two other cars that look almost identical to the outi, I'm not sure if they'll make it to the sates. But nonetheless its kindoff a let down to be whored out like that. We'll enough of the chit chat and onto the pics:
Outlander:
C-Crosser:
Online
Heres the other one, the peugeot 4007:

well, one thing is for sure, mits is re-couping some of its lost capital on this whole outsourcing thing they got going on. could be worse.
there could be a dodge version of the outie.
Nah, not even a broke mitsu would stoop that low.
LOL.
Im not really all that big on the citroen, but the peogot has a cayenneish look to the front end.
not bad, I guess,
I still like the outie better tho.

The French won't be seeing my money when their cars are released here. No rear LED's and the the front lights take up too much of the front wings (fenders), makes the front look too long and out of proportion to me.

I thought audi, when I looked at the P. The good thing is that ours is the best looking one.

Looks like we got another eclipse, talon, and laser on our hands.

lol, I know right.
BTW. looks to me like all models use the same tail-lights. what gives on the no L.E.D'S that sucks.
OTO, your right, the mitsu is by far the best looking.

They are identical because both Peugeot 4007 and Citroen C-Crosser will all be made by Mitsubishi, and supply it OEM to Peugeot and Citroen. In short, the difference is mostly skin deep. Even the dash and interior are all identical to the Outlander. And I'm 100% sure it will not make it to the US, not even import.
It's all good for Mitsubishi. Mitsu has also been delivering OEM cars to Nissan.

I have never seen any Peugoet or Citroen driving around in Cali but I have only been here two years. I never really liked those two brands anyways...
I'm sure you'll see a Peugoet in Cali...depending where you are. I'm on the lookout

That'd be the old Peugeot models when they were still in business here in the US. I doubt you can import vehicles with different emissions standards from what the US requires.

Ah! Come to the rich area and you'll see cars here from overseas that were imported

dude, importing either one of those would be like saying you would rather get get a russian mail order bride thats old and toothless than marry the hot next door neighbor thats already posed for playboy.
anyone that does that deserves a good square kick in the nuts
