Mitsubishi announced fuel economy figures for their newest subcompact, which will revive the Mirage name. At 37 mpg city and 44 mpg highway, the Mirage will best the Chevrolet Spark, its main competitor in the A-segment. But Mitsubishi has yet to announce any of their powertrain offerings for the Mirage. Overseas, a 1.2L 4-cylinder making 73 horsepower is offered.

From the looks of their website they could be on death watch. The still list the 2012 Gallant and their prototypes/show cars go back to 2001.
Love my 2010 Lancer GTS Sportback. Rock solid car - I'd buy it again without reservation given the deal I got. All this "death watch" talk is just that - talk. They too well connected globally and in Japan's corporate symbiosis to fail and keeping a presence in the US isn't that difficult.
Can it do 70mph by the end of the on-ramp? Those who think entering highway traffic 20mph below the speed limit is perfectly safe drive me crazy. Because your car can't puts you in the category of stupid and/or weak. Yes, the speed limits on I-64 where I live are 65 and 70 mph.
Hello all. I've been away for quite awhile and it was refreshing to come back and see the comments to be more classy than I seem to recall them being a year ago. I think the car is interesting, if not something I would drive myself. It looks about as generic as subcompacts are; I confused it with the Prius C, Yaris and the Mazda2. I have to wonder if there is any sort of an alliance between Mitsubishi and Toyota, but I can't find anything recent on the web. I've also heard tell, from a friend, that there is some sort of partnership with Fiat. Is this true? Are Mitsubishi and Chrysler still sharing technology?
