Spy photographers have caught first evidence of a dramatic mid-cycle facelift for Mitsubishi’s Outlander in the American desert today. Although heavily disguised, the front end shows a trapezoidal outline coming through the black vinyl cover. The shape is consistent with the new inverted slant-nose grille front fascia design that marks Mitsubishi's new design identity. Recent vehicles reflecting this design include the new Lancer as well as recently revealed concepts such as the Prototype-S and Concept-cX, both of which have been green flagged for production. Despite the dramatic changes up front, the test vehicles had no apparent changes to the rear. However, based on the large number of engineers present, we’re also expecting some under-the-hood updates as well.

So they're sticking this front everywhere now. I'm not sure if it will work on Outlander as good as on lancer, this may be the opposite situation to the upcoming Colt, which is too small for this front-end, while this may be to big IMO. But still i'm looking forward how it will work out.

I really like the Lancer the way it is. Like Afterrace2 said, I ain't sure about it on the Outlander. It seems 'too small' for this 4x4. I don't mind this front end on the colt. Just please don't make a photoshoped front end.

I don't think the front will look exactly like an Evolution but these days some family resemblances are a must in a car company. Auto Journalists have also said in the past that, that was one of Mitsubishis weaknesses, their designs were all over the place. Not saying i agree, just whats been said.
