Is that a redesigned Outlander, or is that a picture of the Outlander Sport? I thought they looked the same and it was just a performance package?

A plug-in hybrid version of the Outlander Sport would be pretty cool... and likely to be totally sold out before the US release date, just like the big brother Outlander PHEV
