    USA: Q1 2023 sales... Mirage DOWN!

    3342 Mirages sold Jan-March this year. Compare to 4917 last year, same timeframe.

    That's a 32% drop. How is that possible?

    Gotta hope this is a result of supply constraints.

    Overall, Mitsu sales were down in Q1 compared to last year:

    Q1 2023: 20,938
    Q1 2022: 26,400

    For comparison...

    - Nissan moved 3901 Versas in Q1
    - GM moved 150 Sparks (discontinued)

    Too lazy to look up Rio/Accent numbers.

    Could be lack of manual gearbox making some people move on to a different car?

    that and the increase in MSRP resulted as the final nail on the coffin. G4 variant still unpopular today. White Bear has more G4 than hatchback.

    I really think the price is the major issue. It would push me to look at used cars again including a used Mirage versus a new one. Discounted Mirage made used cars look less appealing (to me at least).

    Interesting enough though Outlander Sport sales were up (considering the model is now well over 10 years old) and Eclipse Cross was way down..

    I totally agree with this. If I'm going to have to spend close to $20,000 I may as well spend $22,000 and get a Corolla.

    I don't like to kick anyone when they are down, but the Eclipse Cross has had terrible sales numbers. For a new model, Mitsubishi really missed the mark with this vehicle.
    Eclipse Cross sales
    2018 = 9,485
    2019 = 19,661
    2020 = 10,319
    2021 = 8,946
    2022 = 10,717

    I haven't been in a Mitsubishi showroom since the summer of 2018. I sat in the Outlander & the Outlander Sport while some air bag recall work was being done on my Mirage. The Eclipse was a brand new model at the time, & I had no serious interest in it. A 1.5L turbo that looked a little bit like a Pontiac Aztec - no thank you! There's nothing redeeming/special about the Eclipse Cross powertrain (horsepower or economy).

    If a Outlander Sport AWD manual existed at some point, I would probably own one. I would like the Outlander Sport FWD manual, but it doesn't really compliment my AWD Forester as well. Thus, I passed on vehicles like it & the KIA Soul. My Mirage excels in areas my Forester doesn't, & likewise my Forester excels in areas my Mirage doesn't.

    I have always liked the size & looks of the Outlander Sport. Compared to the sales of the Eclipse Cross, I may not be the only one who feels that way? The old model (OS) has always outsold the new one (EC).

    Outlander Sport sales
    2010 1,690
    2011 16,443
    2012 19,466
    2013 24,951
    2014 31,054
    2015 36,966
    2016 33,067
    2017 33,160
    2018 36,867
    2019 26,144
    2020 28,835
    2021 34,214
    2022 16,374

    For those who own an Eclipse Cross, I don't think it's a bad vehicle. Personally, I just find the OS more appealing.

    Entirely speculation, but as an entry-level car perhaps inflation is having an effect on working-class people being able to afford to buy a new car? One would have to look at entry level car sales overall in order to sus it out, but speaking from a personal perspective, inflation has been wreaking havoc with my finances. I even recently sold my truck, which broke my heart.
