 I have driven Mercedes all my life.  A few months before my lease on a 230 Komressor SLK expired I started SUV shopping.  I test drove multiple makes and models and out of all of them, the Mitsubishi Outlander was the best.  It met my requirements for price, fuel economy, warranty, speed, design, and usefulness.  After test driving a bunch of SUVs in it's class I fell in love with my Outlander.  Great job Mitsubishi!!!
