A Mitsubishi Mirage. The new one. I literally haven't seen a single one on the streets.

I've seen them twice, both of them at Mitsubishi dealerships. Never on the road. I do like the purple color but only if it was a more metallic shade with some depth.

Mitsubishi still sells cars?

Yes I have. It looks like a car meant for developing countries. And it looks like it's from the 90s.

I've seen several, and I need a purple one just because it's the best color currently on the market.

I've seen them on the streets. They definitely look like they do not belong here.

Yup, I have seen about 4 or 5 around here. Every time I am with my wife, I point one out if I spot it. But I also do that with the 5th gen ones, and 4th gen ones, and pretty much any other generation of Mirage thatI see while out driving.

I've seen a few around here and I am in rural NC. If that means anything. They seem to be rather popular here. I have seen at least 5 different colors.

I see two on my commute everyday, a green and a purple one. Also have seen all of the other colours.. One was black on black rims, "nicest" one I have seen.

Someone down the street from me actually has one! Besides that one, I actually have been seeing more of them lately.

I'd love to put a set of 15" wheels and a set of RE11s on a Mirage, and take it to an autocross.

I drove one a couple weekends ago to help a journo friend with a comparison review. It sucked, but the CVT had a lot to do with that. Torch's review is pretty on point.

I haven't, but the only Mitsubishi dealer here in Madison, WI closed up shop several years ago. The two closest dealers are now both about 55 miles away. So there aren't many Mitsubishis here in general.

I've seen one on the roads. When I was looking for my car we found an RX-8 at a Mitsubishi dealer. The RX-8 was garbage. So the salesman tried to get my parents in to looking at a Mirage. They weren't happy with him after that. There was also a two tone Mach 1, brown and grey, disgusting. Sounded terrible to. I felt bad for that car.

I kinda want a Purple one.... 74hp, 1850lbs(apx.), sounds like a CRX HF to me. lol

I saw a silver one today, but it was only a few blocks from a Mitsubishi dealer, so it could have been out for a test drive.

Nope, not yet. I'm in Montreal, which is probably one of their big target markets, but still no signs of one.
