    Saw a bright green one yesterday. The green ones sure show up in the heavy fog better than a silver or grey car.

    So I ended up in Munich, Germany somehow and found this guy parked along the street (and in front of one of my favourite cars, the Fiat 500):

    Sounds like a bachelor party gone wrong. (Gone right?)

    Space Star sighting! Nice pairing.

    I'm on holiday actually to visit my girlfriend (who happens to be working/studying here), and some other relatives.

    Actual conversation after seeing that:

    Girlfriend: "I didn't know that you were able to fit your car in your suitcase."
    Me: "Well, small cars have their perks."
    Girlfriend: "But you had to take the spoiler off to make it fit."

    Bonus girlfriend points for noticing!

    Another German Space Star sighting, this time in Berlin!

    (This picture was taken from the passenger seat of a Trabant, of all things. I was driving and my girlfriend snapped the photo.)

    This week I've also seen another green Space Star in Munich (with a spoiler, so I know it's a different car from the first one), and a yet another green Space Star in Nuremberg. Unfortunately I wasn't able to take pictures of those cars. If it weren't for @atomgnom's blue car I would have thought that this car is available in Germany only in green.

    See if you can snag a rear badge for new member "elvis"...

    Thread: Wanted: Rear "Space Star" letters for 2014 Mirage


    I'm surprised the German market doesn't get the rear spoiler on the base car. Canada/US do.

    Gosh, I keep seeing green Space Stars in this part of the world - one in Vienna and another in Regensburg! Wish I had pics for those.

    And then finally, at the train station in Übersee, Bavaria, a sighting of one of the mythical non-green cars!

    ^ Must have been visiting from elsewhere.

    --

    I spotted another one today in my small city! First in over a month! A Kermit green CVT in a parking lot. I chatted with the owner and he seemed happy with it: mentioned that he got a good deal and likes the small size.

    He's also seen the other local purple one:



    So that makes 2 or possibly 3 Mirages in my no-Mitsubishi-dealership town.
