2018 year-end total: 110,086
Mirage rounded out 2018 with 24316 Mirages & G4's sold, its 5th annual increase in sales.
That makes it 110,086 total U.S. sales at end of 2018.
Remarkable! (Or maybe not, depending on whether they're goosing the numbers with strategically-timed cut-rate fleet sales.)
It's also the first calendar year the Mirage outsold the Chevy Spark.
The Mirage's sales record is also notable in a year in which automakers announced the cancellation of numerous small cars in the US market:
- Ford Fiesta
- Ford Focus
- Hyundai Accent hatchback (though you can still get a sedan)
- Smart Fortwo internal combustion version (EV still available)
- VW Beetle
Several news sites have also speculated that it's just a matter of time for the Chevy Sonic, Fiat 500 and the Toyota Yaris (thread: Toyota Yaris deathwatch is on ).
