Context
Why does this story matter?
Mitsubishi entered the US market under its own name in 1981. The Japanese carmaker became a popular choice among off-roading enthusiasts with the likes of the Pajero and Montero SUVs.
The brand has now introduced a 40th Anniversary Special Edition of the Outlander model to celebrate its 40 years on American soil, fashionably late by almost two years.

The Mitsubishi Outlander 40th Anniversary Special Edition sports a long and sculpted hood, a large black grille, bumper-mounted LED headlights with split-type DRLs, skid plates, and fog lights with C-shaped chrome surrounds.
The SUV is flanked on the sides by ORVMs, silvered roof rails, chromed window lining, and dual-tone alloy wheels.
Wrap-around LED taillights and a roof-mounted spoiler are available at the rear.
