    Hmm... I wonder if Mitsu counts deliveries to dealers as sales? Not likely.

    One of our dealer received 5 Mirages (gray and 1 silver). And they sold one already few days ago.

    Btw: Today, I guess, was the official day of sales of Mirages in US.
    The official web-site was updated -> mitsubishicars.com

    Is 7000 an underestimate?

    I think Mitsu is underestimating the sales potential of the Mirage in the U.S.

    With ~400 dealers and 7000 sales/yr, they're expecting to sell on average just 17.5 Mirages per dealer, per year. Really? That's just one sale every 3 weeks per dealer.

    Just as Mitsu execs were "managing the expectations" of reviewers at the press launch with the warning that the Mirage is not a performance car, I think they may be low-balling the sales estimates too. Set expectations low and then over-deliver. Makes for better headlines in the future.

    Yep, seems pretty low to me too.
    Custom Mirage products: Cruise control kit, Glove box light, MAF sensor housing, Rear sway bar, Upper grill block

    Current project: DIY Nitrous oxide setup for ~$100

    General Motors: 4300 dealers in the US

    Update to my earlier post: GM currently has 4300 dealers, so roughly 10 times Mitsubishi's U.S. dealer count.

    Source: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000...452221502.html

    That should help put Spark vs. Mirage sales in perspective.

    One thought though: I suspect GM has a significant percentage of dealerships outside of sub/urban areas (think of all those pickup sales), whereas Mitsu is probably exclusively sub/urban. By this theory, Mitsu should be able to show better results selling a city car on a per dealer basis.
