“We have worked hard to devise a truly innovative marketing campaign utilizing cutting edge technologies to recreate a genuine Mitsubishi-experience that engages consumers upfront about the new 2011 Outlander Sport and the Mitsubishi Motors brand,” said Gregory Adams, VP of Marketing MMNA.
The online test drive is part of an integrated marketing effort that kicks off October 15th through January and includes television, print, digital and direct mail.
Participants will enjoy the feeling of literally being in the driver’s seat, believes the company. This experience gives the driver almost total control over the Outlander Sport. Drivers will be able to experience many of the Outlander Sport’s deluxe features while performing the test drive, plus enjoy the challenge of collecting vehicle “feature pods” while learning about this crossover’s cool tech features and amenities, the company says.
Those wanting to participate in the online test drive can start signing up on October 15 at the car’s microsite, www.outlandersport.com, to obtain a code that can be used to queue for the live test drive on opening day, November 1st.
