Price of gas was around $1.41 a Canadian litre, back in March/April of 2014 when I bought my Mirage. Today I paid $1.15 or so a litre, and that's high for nowadays. Gas was as low as $.67 cents back in the spring.
Point is people are going to want fuel efficient cars, when gas goes up, and they have to pay $200 to fill up their truck. I think when the oil crisis hit in the 1970s then people probably bought more VW bugs because they were comparatively fuel efficient.
Just wait and Mirage will have its time to shine again.
