    I wouldn't loose sleep over it as long as the forum is still up and running. I wouldn't not buy a new one even if the rumor was true.
    Mirage videos:

    I've wondered about that myself, and I have over 3 years left of my Mirage's powertrain warranty. To be honest in 7 years almost owning my Mirage, I haven't found the 10 year warranty to really be much more than a sales pitch. A lot of stuff simply isn't covered. Like my interior centre console dash light that is out on one side, I don't see my dealer fixing that.

    Anyway I think the Mirage overall is a higher quality car... but somehow the cheapest car you can buy. I think that is the gamble buying Mitsubishi products. I saw on cable TV news out of Toronto recently saying Mitsubishi sales are down in Canada over 57%.. .so that's a tough cookie to swallow for any business... and Mitsu Motors north america is always known to be on shakey ground. Not sure why. Maybe the Nissan connection was a bad idea. I think Mitsubishi is gonna get serviced by Nissan if anyone if they go flop in Canada.

    Mitsubishi's problems started decades ago when they entered the North American market as a captive import, and worsened with their ties with the DaimlerChrysler experiment.

    Diamond Star motors. People still associate Mitsubishi with Dodge. And I mean they still have a connection of sorts, with the Mirage being sold as a clone Dodge Attitude in Mexico. I think that's just pure coincidence and ironic, not really much to do with Diamond star motors' history. The Attitude was a Hyundai Accent clone at one point.

    I compared the Canadian website to the USA one. Both websites are sharing new models coming in 2021, which seems promising.

    Where did you hear this? Source?

    I don't think there's any truth to this rumor.
