    Electric version of Mirage under consideration



    According to "Auto Motor und Sport" an electric version of the Mirage/Space Star is under consideration. The German car magazine interviewed Osamu Masuko, the president of the Mitsubishi Motors Corporation. Mr Masuko is not satisfied with the sales figures of electric powered cars, but he wants to continue the development of alternative and hybrid driven vehicles. Twenty percent of all Mitsubishi cars should be 'alternatives' in the year 2020.

    "For instance, we should offer an electric version of the Mirage/Space Star", mr Masuko told the editors of "Auto Motor und Sport". He believes the focus of his company lies outside Europe. "The European market doesn't grow any longer, we will try to keep our share there. We should concentrate on Asia, South America, Russia, China and Australia".

    I think its odd that they would say that. They essentially have an electric car equivalent of the Mirage, the MiEV. Its of very comparable size. Yet, it is quite a different car being rear wheel drive and looking much more egg-like.
