This makes sense from the very little I know about Mexico. I actually just got back from a week long trip to Mexico. While there, I didn't see any Mitsubishis, but I did see a fair amount of Chrysler vehicles. Good on Mitsu for tapping another market without even having to have many (any?) dealers there.

1.2-liter three-cylinder engine that makes 79 horsepower and 78 lb-ft. of torque

Dodge's newest sedan returns 47 mpg in the city and over 63 mpg on the highway in its most efficient configuration.

More power and more MPG?!

If only it was a hatchback! I'm not a big sedan fan!

Are those power and torque numbers correct? The auto evolution article states different.

Despite the added Dodge-ness, customers only get a Mitsubishi 1.2-liter three-banger with 76 HP and 74 lb-ft (100 Nm) of torque, mated to either a five-speed stick shift tranny or a CVT box.

Could this more powerful and fuel efficient 1.2l i3 be the new engine also coming to USA later this year for the 2016 sedan and hatchback? Or are the mpg ratings for Mexican cars different like the Euro mpgs?

I love the sedans, @alex16 what makes you loves the hatchback besides that it's easier to park?
I love luxury looks, all of the luxury cars are sedans, mercedes benz, BMW, rolls royce, jaguar, etc etc

I know its not addressed to me, but I personally find a hatchback immensely practical. I have fit large speakers, a clothes washing machine, and some other crap back there. Unlike most Americans, I don't see any benefit to a sedan over a 5 door hatch. I dont think a body style = luxury. I guess its all just personal preference, but versatility is what I like about hatchbacks.

February:

Dodge Attitude finished the month with a strong performance, posting sales of 896 units

I think I will try to import Attrage from Belgium since I'm going to exchange Galant and Mirage all at once.

The sedan sales are picking up in Mexico:

Momentum for the Dodge brand remains strong with 2,310 units sold in April, a 15 percent increase from April 2014. The Dodge Attitude claims the top spot with 1,235 units sold

It outsold the hatch by a wide margin (479 in April). Though the two cars are sold by different brands (Mitsu = hatch; Dodge = sedan).

I wonder if these numbers hint at the possible success of the Mirage sedan in the U.S. next year.
