There are 71 million pet owners in America, and 82 percent of dogs travel in cars during their lifetime. However, 98 percent of dogs travel unrestrained in moving vehicles, leaving pets and passengers vulnerable to injury in the event of a traffic accident, according to Bark Buckle UP statistics. In a 35 mile per hour collision, an unrestrained 60-pound pet becomes a 2,700-pound projectile and can do much harm to other passengers.

In announcing the Mitsubishi Outlander, Edmunds.com wrote: Side airbags, five-star crash test ratings and steering-wheel-mounted auxiliary controls are all part of the Outlander’s arsenal of available offerings. The CUV also boasts fold-flat seating and stowable third-row seats (both of which increase the amount of room available for larger pets), as well as more than a dozen storage compartments for your gear and your pet’s.

Mitsubishi has been deploying “K-9″ teams to dog parks and beaches, offering free treats and foldable travel water bowls. “Pet owners’ responses have been overwhelming,” said Frances Oda, vice president of marketing at Mitsubishi Motors North America. “Owners are appreciative of Mitsubishi’s added attention toward pet safety and comfort, while our furry friends enjoy lapping up fresh, cool water during their playtime.”

We’ve always been fans of the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution. Nothing gets us going like taking an economy car and adding all the go-fast parts imaginable right from the factory. The all-wheel-drive system gives this Evo tons of grip and creates a direct link to the rally cars we love to watch. To find out how our editors like the current generation Evolution on the street, click through the following pages.

We were introduced to the Lancer Prototype-S at the 2008 Geneva show. There was no need to guess what the S stood for, as Mitsubishi was upfront about the production Sportback that would follow.

We love the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution. The all-wheel-drive turbocharged rally car for the street grips, steers, and tackles a bumpy road better than many cars costing twice as much. The last-generation Evo–known in Mitsu parlance as Evolutions VII and IX–impressed us with the fact that Mitsubishi had turned the ho-hum base Lancer into such a performance icon. The newest Evo may have lost a little of its raw character, but it’s still clearly an automobile engineered by hardcore enthusiasts for hardcore enthusiasts.

Here’s one hot car you won’t have to wait long for – the 2009 Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart should hit dealerships by the end of this summer. The hatchback version known as the Sportback (pictured) will arrive next year. In either form, the Ralliart will be the first Mitsubishi to directly compete with Subaru‘s legendary Impreza WRX.
