It has more swoops on the grille and LEDS.

What you’re forgetting is that Mitsubishi has been losing money like crazy focusing on performance cars, like the Evo and various Ralliart models. Now the Mirage is selling like hotcakes and Mitsu has money again (Just look at the new Outlander. Hubba, hubba.).

I predict in a couple of years, we will get an Evo XI (11, whatever).

Looks like it just had a couple botox injections here and there.

I do hope that Mitsubishi doesn’t have to close their Illinois or whatever it is plant.

They’re not long for the North American market, I believe its already confirmed that the Normal plant is closing in November and that’s where their best-selling model’s built.

Mitsubishi been losing money focusing on performance cars? Lol wut? They only had two sporty versions of the Lancer; the Ralliart and the Evolution.

After 2007, sales started their downward path. Their current lineup is definitely not on anybody’s competition list. (Besides the Mirage on Jalopnik)

Maybe you could buy a copy of the rendering from the artist?

Pretty sad if it does, as a lot of people will be losing their jobs.

Their dwindling lineup of normal cars no longer had an impact on the market while their focus on the Evo was large. It was miles better than the STi, after all. What was the outcome though? The Galant was underwhelming, the outlander was dated, the iMiEV, or whatever the fuck that thing is, is just a glorified golf cart, and the last Eclipse was the 7th gen Celica of the Eclipse family.

In short, due to poor management, they were losing money. The Mirage needed to happen 10 years ago.

The Mirage makes Mitsubishi almost no profit.

In fact auto sales are just such a small business for Mitsubishi, why they still even bother makes no sense.

In Bloomington? My girlfriend lives there I think it is closing.

It looks a lot better than before, but it’s still a Lancer.

I’d buy the one up from base model. AWD, 168 horses, auto climate control, and display audio for under $20k with a 10 year warranty is not bad, no matter how you slice it.
