    I suspect the end of green didn't coincide exactly with the 2014/2015 model year switchover.

    But green has been removed as a 2015 choice from Mitsu Canada's website. (Haven't checked the US one.)

    I would love to go to the philippines, if I could I would move there permanently, too cold here and it looks beautiful there. And you have a nice car scene.

    I just took my Mirage in again with no start issue and was given a loaner. Brand new 2015 Kiwi Green Mirage w/70km on it..
    it'll be interesting to see what difference a year makes.

    Definitely interested in your impressions (if there are any differences).

    Supposedly the CVT is calibrated differently, engine mounts... I forget what else. Oh, radio antenna location.

    I will post my findings/impressions in a new thread obviously titled (easy to find).. I do not want to hijack this one. I posted here in reference to the availability of kiwi green on 2015. models.

    But at least green remained as a 2015 choice on the U.S. website... a minor consolation that Mirage lovers south of the 49th still had the option.

    I contacted Mitsu Canada to ask why my favourite colour (I picked it for the forum header image even!) was going away, and heard back from their PR guy:



    I replied back that it seemed strange that Canada would lose it, but not the U.S. (Kiwi still appears in the 2015 vehicle description pages on the US media site, here.)

    And heard back...



    Green fans: sorry to be the bearer of bad news!

    Anybody know if it's disappearing in other countries as well?
    i kinda like the idea of green... but a little darker

    Are the sedan headlights, grille, bumper interchangeable with the hatch?
