EDIT (Mar 28) -- Never mind! Mitsu announced they're calling it "Mirage" in the U.S. & Canada after all. See: U.S. debut - 2014 Mitsubishi Mirage @ New York auto show: details, photos, specs

Mitsubishi is unveiling the Mirage at the New York auto show next week, and they're still being secretive about what the car's name will be. (See: Mitsubishi's trademark woes: what to call new Mirage in U.S./Canada?) I've been poking through the public trademark records in both Canada and the US, and there's been activity on the files for both "Mirage" and "Colt" in recent months.
So, it's possible the car may wear the Colt badge here.
In an effort to attract Mirage/Colt/Space Star enthusiasts, Tim and I are going to be proactive. We're going to do the same thing we did with the Space Star name: add references to the new name throughout the site, in the hopes it gets picked up by Google & other search engines so people will be able to find us. We'll be editing some thread titles and subforum names -- things like that.
So you'll see a lot of "Mirage / Colt / Space Star" in the coming days. Ultimately, we'd prefer if Mitsu USA/Canada just stuck to the Mirage name, but we won't know for sure what's going to happen until next Thursday.
3 possible outcomes:
1) If they do call it Colt, we'll be ready in advance.
2) If they keep the Mirage name, we'll just undo all our Colt references, and there's no harm done.
3) And if they announce some completely different name out of left field, we'll have to scramble to substitute it wherever we just added Colt!
