The name XForce sounds like an 80s Japanese live-action superhero TV series, but it helps Mitsubishi’s newest model get a name recall in an overcrowded compact crossover segment. Sometimes, that’s all it takes — get noticed for the opportunity to flaunt your good qualities, and guess what? The XForce GT has a lot.
