We recently detailed the as compiled by , but the one that spends the longest time sitting on dealer lots waiting for a buyer is none other than the .

Oh, you poor bastard, Outlander PHEV. You give Americans everything they want. You’re an SUV that’s not too big, but also not particularly rough or unrefined. It also gets decent fuel economy, and is .

It’s not even that expensive! Oh wait, yes it is. MSRP is $36,295.

Ah.

I see.

Mid-30s for a Mitsubishi blob that’s rated for 25 mpg if your battery isn’t charged. . Hm.

Perhaps it’s understandable that it ranked as the slowest-selling car on the :

We also got a nice little explanation of those figures:

iSeeCars also analyzed the new cars that remain on dealer lots the longest. The top 10 slowest-selling new cars remain on dealer lots for at least 1.5 to 2 times longer than the average vehicle. “These slowest-selling vehicles present savings opportunities for consumers as dealers will want to move these vehicles,” said Ly.

The slowest-selling new vehicle is the Mitsubishi Outlander. “The Mitsubishi Outlander compact SUV saw a 76 percent decrease in sales in the second quarter of 2020 compared to 2019, which shows that there isn’t high demand for the vehicle, despite its affordability and unique features like a third-row seat,” said Ly. It’s joined by the second-ranked Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross, a second compact SUV from the automaker that debuted in 2018 and also isn’t a major seller.

Good god. The Outlander PHEV retails for 10 grand higher than what people are getting them for. Honestly, you are all missing out on some hardcore deals on the Outlander PHEV. A three-row plug-in hybrid for $26,683 almost makes me want an Outlander.

For Just $8.6 Million, You Can Get a Mansion Along With Your Rolls-Royce Phantom and Bentley Arnage
Money doesn’t buy happiness, but since coins and colored pieces of paper fund our lives for some reason, it’s always nice to spend less and get more. Take this $8.6-million Florida , whose seller is throwing in not one, but—clears throat for The Price Is Right voice—two not exactly new...

At $8,000, Would You Wanna Try This 1991 Honda Civic Si on For Size?
Today’s Civic has 233,000 miles on the clock. The thing of it is, not a one of them really shows. Let’s see if this super clean hatch can get a buyer to show up with its asking. You wouldn’t finish someone’s restaurant meal for them after they’ve gotten full half...

2019 BMW i8: I Am a Big Dumb Idiot for Thinking It Needed More Power
2019 BMW i8: I Am a Big Dumb Idiot for Thinking It Needed More Power
When stats for the coupe and its roadster counterpart , I was disappointed that BMW didn’t give this spaceship-like hybrid more power. This was its chance to finally make an all-powerful electrified halo supercar, I figured, and it missed the opportunity. But now that I’ve finally driven it, I realize...

Someone Tried Turning This Boring 1984 Buick Regal Into a Toyota and the Result Is Amazing
Someone Tried Turning This Boring 1984 Buick Regal Into a Toyota and the Result Is Amazing
It looks like a normal, mid-‘80s Buick Regal on the outside, but under the hood and inside, a Toyota fan did something deeply, maniacally absurd. And perhaps ingenious. Sent to me by a baffled Jalopnik commenter named eptoday, this 1984 Buick Regal appears to be the definition of Malaise-Era General...

A few things aren’t right on today’s 928. Consider it if you will, a work in progress. Let’s see if this project Porsche’s price makes it a work of art. Well, it looks like we started off the week in a happy place. How we got there was in a...
