Wow, that's nasty. I wonder what's going on there.

Still, it's doing better in Oz than in Canada.

I saw another article discussing the "rebound" in the light car segment in Australia, which was hammered last year.

Sales of light cars have increased 11.0 per cent so far this year to 36,578, making it one of only two passenger segments not to lose ground compared with 2014

[...]

The arrival of a host of all-new and significantly updated models over the past 12 months has given new life to the underperforming light car segment

They also offer a tidbit about the Mirage sedan/hatch split in Oz:

"The Honda City’s key rival, the Mitsubishi Mirage sedan, trails with 515 sales, though it’s performing better than expected, accounting for a third of total Mirage sales this year."

There are Mazda 2's everywhere here in Canberra, I've only seen a few Mirages...

[MetroMPG]

Funny thing: Mazda has called off bringing the new 2 to North America (for now). I think they're worried the segment sales are shrinking (as they are in Oz) or that it'll take sales away from the 3 or their new small crossover.

I think the 2 would also take sales from the Mirage (depending how they priced it).

I was one of those 494 Mirages in July
