Mitsubishi lovers "down under" get ready, because the innovative automaker is adding a bit of shine to its already sparkling new Mitsubishi lineup. Four of its prime models will see Platinum-edition variants exclusively made for the Australian market: the 2012 Mitsubishi ASX, 2012 Mitsubishi Lancer, 2012 Mitsubishi Outlander and 2012 Mitsubishi Pajero. While the tricked out vehicles aren't currently headed to the U.S., Jeff D'Ambrosio Mitsubishi is more than happy to share the exciting model details nonetheless.

Crossover vehicles have become a staple in the American market. Jeff D'Ambrosio Mitsubishi believes this is largely because the average consumer needs a model that can handle his or her multi-faceted life. That means delivering stellar performance with low fuel economy in a strong vehicle body that offers plenty of passenger space. Too much to ask of one simple car? Not when it comes to Mitsubishi. Then again, the innovative automaker doesn't exactly pump out "simple" models.
