It's about time! My little car is now about 5 years old and just gave me 50mpg cruising around yesterday. 1 day's-worth of driving in my F250 eats about as much gas as two weeks of driving the Mirage.

2014 White SE with CVT
186 deliveries.
Not super. Nissan sold 548 Micras.

But there's a Canadian milestone coming up: sometime in the next 2 or 3 months the 20,000th Mirage will be sold here. That represents a healthy future supply of cheap used Mirages for me!
The U.S. passed its 100k Mirage milestone a year ago: Milestone passed: 100,000 Mirages sold
Per capita, Canadians have been buying Mirages at roughly twice the rate that Americans are!

perhaps once their prices for gas reach Canadian levels...
2014 White SE with CVT
Gas prices have fallen here lately. I paid under $3.00 a gallon for the first time in a long time yesterday, and Washington State has some of the highest state gas taxes in the country ($0.49/gal, trailing only Pennsylvania).
Speaking of high gas taxes, I believe that is true in Vancouver as well? Self-imposed 'carbon tax'?
Don't get me started on the "carbon tax". Not a fan, to put it briefly.

That's amazingly low. In Australia Mitsubishi pulled the G4 from their market 3 years ago. They just discontinued the Lancer in Australia. The big sellers in Australia are the ASX (Outlander Sport), L200 Triton Pickup, Outlander and Pajero (which will be discontinued also). Eclipse Cross sales are pretty low, not Mirage sales low though, yikes.

Didn't see Sept. numbers posted, so here goes:
U.S. Mirage sales up 28.4% in September moving 2,196 units. Year-to-date Mirage sales are up 9.6% vs. 2018. Mitsubishi sales, overall, are up 2.3% in 2019.
The Canadian market moved 146 Mirages, and a total of 2,376 vehicles in total for September, a 16% increase, just shy of September 2014's record.
MetroMPG (10-03-2019)
More good news. I'll bet automotive journalists/Mirage critics are wondering where they went wrong.
Why change a successful design? How many major redesigns did the Metro have?
