The Outlander plug-in is starting to be rolled out in other countries, ones that speak English which is a huge advantage to us
Here are some first drive reviews of the Mitsubishii Outlander PHEV.
This one is of a test mule, so not the production version, but an Outlander fitted with the PHEV components and battery pack thrown in the trunk lol

A great quote from Mitsubishi:
“If the next generation of battery-powered cars is ever going to become truly mainstream, it’s vital that they become ordinary,” he said. “The handful of plug-in hybrids that we’ve seen thus far have been showcase cars; four-wheeled statements of technological advancement for their manufacturers, and of environmental awareness for their drivers, rather than practical, usable family machines for everyone."
And finally, a video review of the Outlander PHEV in english!

So far, the 2014 Outlander has been very well received overseas which is a good thing since the Outlander is a very important car for Mitsubishi in the States. Too bad we wont get the 2.2L DI-D diesel engine here.
