[edit] Montero Sport is not predecessor

The article currently states the Montero Sport is the Outlanders predecessor. This is incorrect, as the Montero Sport (called Challenger in most countries), continues to be built and sold as of 2006, some 3 years after the introduction of the Outlander! What's more, the Montero Sport/Challenger is a mid-sized SUV based on a truck platform, while the Outlander is a compact. I am therefore removing references to the Montero Sport.

[edit] merge it already

airtek should be merged with Outlander

Outlander should be the main article

airtrek should redirect to outlander.... --193.77.17.246 13:45, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] merger done

I redirected the Airtrek page here, and (I think) merged all the content. Gave it a small edit while I was at it. I've left a "citation needed" tag against the intro section where I stated that Airtrek is still the name used in Brazil and Singapore. In this Singaporean motoring forum a poster seems to say that their Airtrek is being discontinued too for the 2006 model in favour of Outlander, so I reckon the Airtrek name is being scrapped everywhere.

I've also left the MMC template as is, with the Airtrek listed as a past model. --DeLarge 15:08, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Adding HELPFUL info

Why don't ANY of these car pages have anything helpful such as: -mpg -crash test rating -recalls -major problems etc

Seriously, why? It's not just this page, its all cars.--71.86.90.104 (talk) 17:05, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

We're supposed to be like MSN Encarta, not MSN Autos. Wikipedia is not a lot of things (see WP:NOT), such as a review site, a buyers' guide, an instruction manual, or anything like that. Regards, --DeLarge (talk) 08:33, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Outlander K2

I've removed this photo, as it's frankly incredibly trivial, and not even strictly accurate. According to MMC Chile's website, both the Outlander and Outlander K2 are available, suggesting that this is basically a different spec. A photo of a badge on the rear door which doesn't even show the rest of the car isn't serving any particular encyclopedic purpose. Regards, --DeLarge (talk) 08:23, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
