saw it also at MOA. ganda ng profile. naka paddle shifters pa.

1.4M yung lower variant not sure if it's 4x2. 1.6M yung top of the line.

parang mababa ground clearance nya compared to most mini SUVs

For me, you are not missing alot by not seeing it in person. In fact, it is quite underwhelming esp. after all the ballyhoo about how great, nice, best seller, it is etc....

Re: ground clearance. It is quite low for this kind of CUV. It is more like a station wagon with a high roof. Its tail pipe is the same level as that of a car.

It was fitted with oem large wheels and low profile tires. Make no mistake about this one, it is definitely for the asphalted or paved roads. Even leveled but unpaved roads might ruins its tires.

Door panelling is quite disappointing, as it follows suit of the new Strada, with a plain plastic panel, with a small patch of moquette (fabric) on the arm rest.

When I asked about the 2.4 Mivec engine, the SA says that would not be available. So I think that means both variants will sport the 3.0 V6 but I think one will be FWD while the top of the line is AWD.

I was impressed with its tumbling and folding second row seats bec. it automatically locks itself into position until it is folded back into place again. This is what the gen2 crv, Toyota IMV, etc lacks.

The dashboard is quite wide, very much like the one on the Grandis.

The each wheel well is covered with a paper?/foam? material, much like the ones on the Mazda6 2.3.

Since the PHDM Outlander has the third row seats deleted, one would expect more cargo rooms, but no. I think an Innova or Fortuner with their third row seats folded up can both actually yield more cargo space than the Outlander.

It also has what appears to be power switches at the cargo area for folding/tumbling? the second row seats?

Hmm... that's how I somehow felt when I first saw the Outlander in MOA after months of hype. I mean its packaged very nicely but something seems lacking. Maybe I expected it to be a bit bigger from the pictures before.

. . . . When I asked about the 2.4 Mivec engine, the SA says that would not be available. So I think that means both variants will sport the 3.0 V6 but I think one will be FWD while the top of the line is AWD.

a friend of mine who works at MMP told me this - since Pinas is a left-hand drive country like the US, we get the 3.0 V6 variant since USDM inventories are available.

All the right-hand drive countries get Outlanders with the 2.4 MIVEC like Japan and EU countries. This is also the reason why we don't have the CRDI variants (2.2 and 2.0 CRDI) yet since Outlanders that are CRDI variants available in inventory today are all right hand drive units destined for EU.

So it might just be a matter of time when MMP gets left hand drive units with the 2.4 MIVEC / CRDIs. (So it they don't re-tool anytime soon, then we also don't get the 2.4 MIVEC nor the CRDIs variants soon).
