It's a good thing I live in the south!! No worries about rust. Cars here die because they are worn out, not rusted out.

The Mirage is the simplest car you can buy in North America right now. Any simpler, and it would certainly reduce sales. I would not want the car to be any simpler than it is now.

+1. You can't sell a car in US without A/C, radio and power windows/locks. This is all barebone DE has.

Cruise control will be in "must have" category soon, and it is extremely difficult to sell car with manual tranny. Only 3.8% of cars sold in US in 2014 had manual. This year it is up to 6.8%, but the manual transmission in US nicknamed "anti-theft device" for good reason.
