First car in the Garage!
We first saw what the new Mirage / Space Star was going to look like when Mitsu showed the "Global Small" concept car beginning with the 2011 auto show circuit.
Optimized aerodynamics as exemplified in the sloping roof line and other details give the car an excellent drag coeffient.
The concept car was described as having a new 1.0-liter three-cylinder petrol engine that features fuel-saving technologies including MIVEC continuously variable valve control (intake side), auto stop-and-go, and a brake energy-recovery system. Transmission is 5 M/T.
185/55 R 16 low rolling resistance tires

Hi mitsumi, those are Mitsu's pics, but the automakers don't mind people posting/sharing official pics.
Oh and if you use Google image search you can probably find higher res ones.

Yeah, cyclopathic, things rarely turn out quite like the concept cars, eh?![]()

Hey I am happy 185/60R14 fits on stock steel rims, though choice is still very much limited.

Now that is nice. I like this much better than the 2017 Mirage. Thanks for this picture!
