Mitsubishi Mirage Sedan Displayed Proudly In Toronto

Not content to let Nissan steal their A-segment thunder, Mitsubishi brought out their Mirage G4 sedan, which was locked and on a turntable, next to an Evo and a Mirage hatchback. In person, the G4 looks just as pinched and stretched as photos make it out to be.

First of all, Mitsubishi has an ASSEMBLY PLANT HERE. They are not going anywhere for the near future. It would cost them way too much to shut down here, unlike Suzuki. Secondly, the Mirage hatch is now Mitsu's best selling car line. Laugh all you want, but for $13k, it has a lot of kit standard (ok, I read too many British mags) and gets great mileage. Read the owner reviews. So why not add a sedan version too? Some people just don't want to buy a USED "whatever" car. They like the idea of getting something brand new, however modest it might be.

  Agreed. Mitsubishi is employing a lot of AMERICANS at their factory in Illinois. Mitsubishi/Kia/Hyundai/Nissan are good for the car buying public, because they offer decent cars at lower prices. The average person doesn't need a $30,000 car to drive back and forth to work and there definitely is peace of mind with getting a new car instead of used (or pre-owned) as they now like to call it in the car dealer PC world to not offend the buyers.

  Mitsubishis are usually highly discounted. You could drive away from a dealership with a 2014 Outlander GT with every option available and all-wheel-drive for 30 grand. THAT'S good value. I'm a huge supporter of Mitsubishi and know they'll have a good chance here in the US, no matter what others think.

  @turboprius Yes, but will the Mirage sedan be available here in the US in the same colors as the hatch: infra-red, Kiwi green and plasma purple? I love that plasma purple, but only in a sedan with a lockable trunk for my golf clubs. It would be the hit of the country club parking lot.

  @Lorenzo If Sharpay Evans were poor, she'd probably have a Plasma Purple Mirage sedan. But spoiled teenage girls who go to country clubs have Shelby GT500s that they get painted Plasma Purple. However, the sedan looks to appeal as A-B transportation rather than "Fabulous." They've gotta work things out, right? It's really funny I thought of that, since Ryan Evans is my profile picture right now. And Sharpay had a Mustang in the movie. Fine, I'll shut up. A teenage boy isn't supposed to know this much about HSM 2.

Oversized body rolling on absurdly small wheels. A typically Indian design where a large body has been mated to an existing platform to hit the combined targets of interior cabin space and cost reduction.

FreedMike Not my favorite car design, but that blue color is outstanding.
Lorenzo Car racing is dying, and with it my interest. Midget/micro racing was my last interest in car racing, and now sanctioning body bureaucrats are killing it off too. The more organized it is, the less interesting it becomes.
Lorenzo Soon, the rental car lots will be filled with Kia's as far as the eye can see!
Lorenzo You can't sell an old man's car to a young man, but you CAN sell a young man's car to an old man (pardon the sexism, it's not my quote).Solution: Young man styling, but old man amenities, hidden if necessary, like easier entry/exit (young men gradually turn into old men, and will appreciate them).
Wjtinfwb Hmmm. Given that most Ford designs are doing relatively well in the marketplace, if this was forced I'd bet it was over the S650 Mustang. It's not a bad looking car but some angles seem very derivative of other makes, never a good trait for a car as distinctive as Mustang. And if he had anything to do with the abysmal dashboard, that's reason enough. Mustang doesn't need the "Tokyo by Night" dash arrangement of a more boring car. Analog gauges, a screen big enough for GPS, not Netflix and some decent quality plastics is plenty. The current set-up would be enough to dissuade me from considering a new Mustang.
