2025 Mitsubishi Outlander Trail Edition Encourages Getting Dirty
The trim joins the industry-wide bandwagon of off-roading crossovers, with trail-inspired 18-inch wheels, all-weather floor mats, and black trim details.
The trim itself is mostly an appearance package, but there are more focused dealer accessories to make the variant more capable.
Mitsubishi is falling in line with the rest of the industry by offering an off-road-focused package for its compact SUV, and we now know the new Outlander Trail Edition model starts at $41,300. Well, technically, the Trail Edition starts at $40,890, but a Mitsubishi representative confirmed to Car and Driver that the $200 Trail Edition Welcome Package and the $210 Accessory Tonneau Cover are installed on nearly every model, meaning you'll be hard-pressed to find an example with the lower price.

The new trim level looks to harness the growing number of crossover shoppers looking for off-road prowess—or at least the look of it. The Trail Edition itself is mostly an appearance package. It comes with black trim pieces for the mirror caps and door handles. There are also black accents for the side guards on the lower doors, as well as on the bumpers. The inside comes with a set of all-weather floor mats and a Trail Edition all-weather cargo mat system, both of which come as part of the $200 Welcome package listed above.

If you're looking to spend a bit more for some actual off-roading chops, the Trail Edition still has you covered; you've just got to spring for the dealer-installed accessories. There's an optional Thule Caprock roof rack for $1300, giving you the option for extra storage solutions. Mitsubishi will also sell you a set of 235/60R-18 Cooper Discoverer all-terrain tires to give you more confidence when driving in the dirt, which the Trail Edition encourages.

Awesome BATMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES Batmobile Poster Art By Artist Craig Drake — GeekTyrant
If you're a fan of Batman: The Animated Series , this limited edition Batmobile print created by aritst Craig Drake is a must! This is my favorite Batmobile design, so while I was at Comic-Con, I had to pick myself up this print from Hero Complex Gallery. If you like what you see and you want to print for yourself you can pick yourself one up here. The 36x24 print is $75 and the 24x16 is $50. There's also a 18x12 metallic edition for $50. The Batmobile in Batman: The Animated Series is pure, unfiltered cool, is a sleek, gothic beast of a machine that perfectly captures the noir tone of the show. Its long frame and roaring jet engine make it feel like a cross between a muscle car and an art deco nightmare, and every time it bursts onto the screen, it's high-octane epicness. Its design is timeless, combining retro-futuristic flair with just the right amount of menace, making it one of the most iconic and badass Batmobiles ever created.

Ryan Blaney knocks off Shane van Gisbergen for pole at Watkins Glen
WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. (AP) — Ryan Blaney bested Shane van Gisbergen in Cup Series road course qualifying by three hundredths of a second on Saturday, capturing the pole position at Watkins Glen International. Blaney turned a lap of 1 minute, 11.960 seconds in the No. 12 Ford, edging van Gisbergen's No. 88 Chevrolet (1 minute, 11.993 seconds). Starting first in Sunday's 110-lap race at Watkins Glen was a surprise for Blaney, who has only three top 10 finishes on the 2.45-mile track. The 2023 Cup champion is mired in a 22-race slump without a top-five finish on a road course. 'What a cool pole,' said Blaney, who earned the 150th Cup pole position for Team Penske. 'I'm a pretty average road racer, and I work really hard to get better at it and try to figure out ways to be better. We've got to find a little bit of race pace, but it's nice to have one-lap speed. It's fun when you can sit on the pole at a place where I'm not very good.' Bidding for his fourth consecutive Cup victory on a road or street course, van Gisbergen will start second after having won from the pole at Mexico City, Chicago and Sonoma. 'Man, it's amazing how close it all is for a road course,' van Gisbergen said. "My laps were OK, and there probably were some things I could have fixed. Decent start for tomorrow." Chase Briscoe, who had started on the pole position the past two weeks at Iowa Speedway and Indianapolis Motor Speedway, qualified third in the No. 19 Toyota, followed by Ross Chastain's No. 1 Chevrolet and Kyle Busch's No. 8 Chevrolet. ___ AP auto racing:

Ryan Blaney Takes Surprise Road Course Pole Position at Watkins Glen, 0.033 Seconds Faster than SVG
Ryan Blaney did not expect to start Sunday's Go Bowling 400 at The Glen stacked up next to road course titan Shane van Gisbergen, but a pole win on Saturday sets him up to do just so. Blaney went out in the second qualifying group and, after losing time to Shane van Gisbergen's provisional pole lap in the bus stop, improved over the rest of the lap for a time of 1:11,960, 0.033 seconds faster than the rookie from New Zealand. With Saturday's, Blaney delivers his 13th career pole, the last 11 for Team Penske, pushing Roger's team to 150 poles in the NASCAR Cup Series. Blaney has failed to convert any of his 13 pole positions into a win. His only other pole on a road course came at The Circuit of the Americas in 2022, where he would go on to finish fourth. "I'm a pretty average road racer, honestly," Blaney told NASCAR on TNT. "I work really hard to try and get better at it and find ways to be better. I'm really proud of the whole 12 group." Blaney's last visit to Watkins Glen ended early when a first-lap incident took him out of contention, and would go on to bring major changes to NASCAR's Damage Vehicle Policy. Bubba Wallace, who qualified 15th, came up to his competitor and close friend, Blaney, to rib him about putting himself on van Gisbergen's radar. "Well, that was a bad idea because now he's going to really wax you tomorrow," Blaney shared Bubba's words with him. "Hey, I've beaten him once this weekend," Blaney replied, "You have to start somewhere." Van Gisbergen will also start second in Saturday's Xfinity Series race at Watkins Glen on the outside of Connor Zilisch, his JR Motorsports teammate, who will also be making his second career Cup Series Start from 25th. He qualified 14th in his debut at the Circuit of The Americas this year before being taken out in a crash with Trackhouse Racing's Daniel Suarez. Chase Briscoe qualified third, continuing his top-tier qualifying effort in 2025, which includes six poles. Ross Chastain, who earned pole here in 2024, will start fourth ahead of Kyle Busch, who had a surprisingly great qualifying effort on a road course in the middle of a subpar season that threatens to keep him out of the playoffs. Michael McDowell will start next to Busch on the third row.
