As recently as August and September, there are USA dealer websites stating that MY2019 will have the powertrain updates:

http://www.brooklynmitsubishi.com/blog/2019-outlander-phev-promotional-video (Sport mode implies powertrain updates)

These dealers join others who posted earlier about the powertrain updates, and have not revised these pages:

If these dealers are correct, I will be pleasantly surprised, since I was expecting the forked model (new skin, old powertrain) that Australia got (follow the confusion in this thread: http://www.myoutlanderphev.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=3755). But what if we get the forked version?
What do you think is likely to happen - will USA MY2019 get the powertrain updates, and if not, is this simply poor communication between Mitsubishi and its dealers, especially with MY2019 due to arrive this month or next?
