Mitsubishi and Nissan - A Tale of Two CVT Crossovers
One has a schnoz like Darth Vader's mask, the other looks like a legless frog on a skateboard, and the makers of both vehicles think they represent compelling solutions to customers' need for a small and capable crossover/wagon.
Mitsubishi's RVR (or "Outlander Sport" in the U.S.) is the tall wagon whose proboscis causes a great disturbance in the force.

It's the 2007 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder, a car that is
definitely not creepy crawly (like The Who's famous Boris),
but is instead a real blast to take out on an open road
on a warm day. It's a drop top sports coupe that offers
just about as much enjoyment as you can expect from a reasonably
priced front drive car. more...
Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback Ralliart Want an affordable family hauler with a little more fun-to-drive quotient than many such vehicles? The Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback could be just what the doctor ordered.
