It's like that one Myspace page that hasn't been updated in years. Also, I'm surprised people still buy the five cars (and one golf cart) they sell.
Also, what's a 291 turbocharged engine? Are there 291 turbocharged engines in the Evo?

They suffer from Stale Lineup Disease. Here's how to fix it.
First, lower the base price of the Mirage. If it can sell for E9000 in high-tax Europe, it can sell for 8k over here. (As a side note, shame on Nissan for not selling the Micra in the US especially since Canada gets it, and it's only 10k up there, it can be 9ok down here. The Spark is also overpriced)
The Mirage needs to be available with a sunroof, perhaps some more colors, a diesel engine, and a high-performance VR-4 with like 150 hp; if the VR-4 can be priced at 17-18k, or at least under 20k, they'll have a winner.
Mitsu DESPERATELY needs new generations of the Lancer and Galant. A wide variety of body styles will be needed for both cars. Coupe, sedan, wagon, hatchback, convertible, 2WD, AWD. And of course, a new Evo and a Galant VR-4. Perhaps one or both (Galant and/or Lancer) could be RWD.
They also need some sports cars. I vision Mitsubishi sharing a new small RWD Lancer platform with Chrysler and Fiat. Dodge Colt, Alfa Romeo Arna, and Mitsubishi Eclipse and Lancer. There'd be an Eclipse VR-4, Arna Abarth, and Colt SRT4.
Some new trucks would also be nice. A good idea would be to bring the Triton over here. Gas, diesel, and of course a VR-4. The Montero is awesome, and big SUV's still do well over here, so they should bring it back. Gas, diesel, SWB hardtop and convertible, and VR-4 too. The big question is, should the VR-4 trucks be sport trucks, or should they be off-road monsters like the Raptor? Perhaps they could make two high performance lines for the trucks.
Can't leave out the i! Mitsubishi needs to sell the non-electric i over here, and they could even make an i VR-4. By far the biggest back seat of any RR car offered in the US. Eat THAT, Porsche :p
Mitsubishi should be different than what the other car companies offer in the US. Make them more international. Gotta have a hook.

Currently the best and least outdated product they sell in the US. Pretty much the brand's volume seller here, too.
Plus, it's made in America and far from a bad vehicle.
Pretty much, Mitsubishi needs more products like this and less like the Mirage.
The bigger Outlander is...probably halfway there, in my opinion.
i-MiEV...needs a slightly nicer interior (even the interior of the smart Electric Drive is nicer), a better battery, and a gasoline version.
Mirage...just needs to go.
Lancer...if Mitsubishi can make the next Lancer (obviously without an Evo model) at least as good as a Chevrolet Cruze, it'll help them a lot.
Fortunately, it looks like the next Montero might make it's way here, which is good.
And a Galant replacement that will probably be automatically better than it's predecessor.
