    According to a report, it looks like sales of the Mirage have declined enough that further imports to Indonesia have been stopped.

    Based on data from the Indonesian Association of Automotive Industries (Gaikindo) in the first half of 2018, Mitsubishi Mirage's wholesales (sales of major wholesalers from factories to dealers) were only 259 units, down from the previous year's 1,076 units.
    One cause of the decline may be a new class of inexpensive 7-passenger car produced under a green car program:

    the segment was also known to be further eroded by the presence of the Low Cost Green Car (LCGC) segment, especially those with a capacity of seven passengers.

    What the heck is a Low Cost Green Car?!?

    Apparently the government has instituted specific tax incentives for cars including minimum fuel economy and where they are made. No wonder the Mirage can't compete...

    Indonesia has always been a tasty market for global auto giants. It has almost 40% of Southeast Asia’s population, an economy that’s grown faster than 4% for a decade, and a car market that’s expected to grow faster than China’s. And now, with new tax incentives for low-cost green cars, the fight for Indonesia’s car market is set to intensify.

    The new rules reduce the luxury-goods tax that is usually applied to cars, cutting it by 25% for cars that can run at least 20 kilometers on a liter of fuel (28 miles per gallon), 50% for 28 kilometers per liter, and up to 100% off for the most efficient cars. The current tax for new vehicles ranges from 10-75% depending on engine size. The eco-friendly vehicles must also be assembled in Indonesia and 84% of their components must be locally-made to get the tax exemptions.

    Ironically, the Mirage itself is a product of tax incentive manufacturing of "eco-cars" in Thailand. (Though the Mirage program didn't also specify "low cost" as a requirement.)
