this used to be a fair comparo when the two vehicles were introduced. they were actually very similar vehicles then. there was a few comparos done by several car mags, with the forester always coming out on top. admittedly though, i thought the outlander was (and is IMO) the better looking vehicle. then the XT came out, and the comparos stopped,

. but i heard mitsu is coming out with a V6 outlander so stay tuned...they should just slap the EVO engine in an outlander, then it'd be really interesting.

You have to at least think of parts availability. Neither an Outlander nor a Forester will last forever without proper care.

actually... mistubishi has a contender up its sleeve (though it isn't available stateside & in europe - thus the lack of a comparison)... the airtrek turbo-r (240-hp, 4G63T). afaik, it is only avaialble in SEA, Aus & NZ.

intersting that the outlander turbo only makes 200hp (emmission regulations?).
