Sorry, the numbers from the article didn't copy & paste that well.
Even thought they somewhat split their own market, I am somewhat surprised the Mirage outsold the Accent & Rio individually.
Hindsight is easy, but Mitsubishi should have never wedged the Eclipse Cross between two models they already carry. A smaller AWD vehicle like the KIA Soul would have been a much bigger hit. If it had an AWD manual option, I would have bought a one years ago.
The Eclipse Cross ended with less than 20,000 vehicles sold (19,661 in 2019).
Considering the lack of a good dealership network, I think the Mirage does quite well in the States.
