I have to wright a newspaper article for the New York TImes about the Australian Enviroment.
American readers are not very familiar with Australia or its geography but have heard about flooding in Queensland and New South Wales and the Bushfires in Victoria and New South Wales in 2012 and 2013 on the news. They are concerned that it would be a dangerous place to visit on holiday.
So my question is how natural hazards are managed to reassure the American community that Australia is a safe and enjoyable place to visit.
Answer
hi there Noah...
well when you WRITE your article might be best to actually tell the truth
no point reassuring them because Australia is NOT a safe place to visit
we have the most number of the most deadliest bugs critters creepy crawlies both on land and in the sea
not only that we also have eucalypt trees which we call "widow makers" they are all over the country and at any moment a huge limb or branch or even a whole tree can fall on you, your car, your caravan, your house
getting the idea...!!!
there is no sugar coating it just to pacify nervous Americans
and down here we do NOT manage natural hazards... how can you manage mother nature
we do have wonderful brave men and women who risk their life to go in AFTER a storm or bush fire or disaster
now your editor might not be happy with the truth but hey ....
you could tell them that the aussies are a tough lot we have to be to survive life here
you could also tell them that we consider ourselves very lucky to live in this dangerous land because at least we know our children will not be shot by some crazed loonie while they sit in the school room
getting the idea...!!!

I want to know whats good and bad about the car.
Thank You!
Its FWD.
Answer
Outlanders, sport or full sized, are arguably Mitsubishi's strongest offering besides the Lancer. I'd own one if I didn't already have 4 or so Mitsus. I'd go all the way for the SE AWC if you ever encounter winter weather. Its arguably the most advanced all wheel drive system on the market, behind its big brother S-AWC and Nissan's ATTESA system. You wont be disappointed. Mitsubishi isn't going anywhere....besides, rumor has it Suzuki is on there way back in a couple of years.

Mitsubishi Lancer named, and I quote, "Most reliable car of the last 15 years."

Shocker. #6 right behind acura and way ahead of any american competition.

Tied for 6th ahead of all american companies and 1% behind subaru. The Euro line-up only differs from the american in that they offer certain models in a diesel format AND most importantly, they sell the Evo FQ400, the most powerful Evolution variant able to be obtained. One could argue these options can easily add to maintenance and reliability concerns. Seems they did pretty well there huh?
Not sure where you got transmission issues from. I worked in a junkyard when I was younger. If I remember correctly, over the course of the year I was there, 3 Mitsubishis were dropped off. What we did keep getting plenty of in were chevys, fords, and gmcs all with bad trannys.
Don't hate what you don't know kiddies. It's fun to pass on misinformation, but sometimes it just gets old and makes you look ignorant.
I should know, I work on them every day.
