The 2016/2017 Mirage spy shots are finally here. (Facelift/design update)

Although we can not see that much, I can tell that the changes will be mostly cosmetic. http://paultan.org/2015/10/16/spied-...ts-new-visage/

UPDATE: new Mirage styling revealed at L.A. auto show debut.

Yay. Now undress that lady

Except for the grille, I'm not seeing a whole bunch of exterior or interior changes. Hopefully upgraded the rear axle and brakes.

Nice find, Gnarles2!

Anybody handy enough with Photoshop to "remove" that camo & preserve the lines we can see underneath?

Super!!! Take the Mask off!

Looks like the rear bumper is now "North American-sized" on this Euro spied Mirage, based on the depth below the bottom of the hatch. I suspect the round rear side reflectors are gone, moved into the side of the redesigned LED tail lights. (U.S. and Canada-specific Mirage rear bumper (different from other markets))

HVAC Controls being traditional knobs is odd...

This makes sense to simplify assembly line components.

Manual controls were the norm in most countries, including Canada on the base trim. Auto/digital controls was a selling feature for the car in the U.S. on both trims.

Although the manual knobs have been updated too: the previous manual controls were 2 sliders (temp & fresh/recirc) & 2 knobs (fan & vent selector).

I'm not sure about the new front end, but I do like the grill design....

Hopefully they'll soon get down to the important stuff like suspension....
