I've spotted 2 in the wild. I should have taken a photo. Someone mentioned in another thread that they liked the look of the pre-2017 models better. I have a 2020. But when I see them side-by-side, I'm not sure but I might agree. The pre-2017s have a certain look and do look very good. Maybe even better than my 2020. Anywho...
- I saw a gray one on my first drive of the car in PA, on my way home on the interstate. Dude wouldn't even look over, just stubbed up and kept driving.
- Just this Wednesday (11/18) I saw another older gray one (this one was all beat up) in the parking lot of Summit Racing when I went to pick up my new sport performance 5 lug super-light-featherweight Formula 1 spec wheels. I parked right next to it.

I spotted a lot of mirages lately... When I go to work I see a blue one and a black one all the time. I saw a g4 a week ago driving by the grocery store too. There's more mirages than outlanders... The farther you get out of mentor and into the boonies, the more Mirages I see.

I spotted a Purple / Wine colored one this morning in my town of Peachtree City. It looked to be a 2015'ish. I like the front end, they look good. It had no wheel covers, and I sort of liked the way that looked too. It appeared to be a manual (can't say for sure) because the way it left the traffic light (going the opposite direction of me), it seemed to have more get-up-and-go than what I remember the automagic I drove one time had. Anywho - It's the first Mirage I have seen locally.

I see Outlanders/Sports/Mirages in Atlanta all the time myself. There is 3 big dealerships in the metro area alone. Bill Holt Mitsubishi, Gwinnett Mitsubishi, and Don Jackson Mitsubishi. What I don't see are Eclipse Crosses. I'm not sure how reliable the 1.5L turbo engine set up is going to be vs the old proven Outlander Sport engine.
In PTC there is a covert agenda to waste as much money as is possible on cars to make oneself look rich. I'm trying my best not to fit in.

Fummins (12-01-2020)
Some guy drives an 18 es orange hatchback in my area that has body damage on all 4 sides with 3 missing hubcaps. Front bumper large dent and hole, passenger side doors creased in and the bottom of passenger door pushed in. Rear bumper pushed up from the bottom. Drivers side 1 hub cap missing dents and scrapes along the front fender and drivers door.
Spotted my first rusty Mirage today.
The local NAPA store has a 2014-15 MY Mirage (delivery vehicle, complete with the goofy hat) and today I saw it putting around like usual but.... I noticed it had a case of the rusties in the rear wheel well near where the metalwork meets the plastic bumper cover.
Next time i'm down near the NAPA store i'm going to snap a pic.
Here in NS, once rust breaks through a fender it's an Automatic Fail for the Bi-Yearly safety inspection.
I'm betting for many Mirages here, that's going to start becoming a big issue... especially if they weren't taken care of or undercoated.

Yes please, get a pic!
I'll add it to the thread:
Thread: This is where your Mirage is going to rust out. (Body/chassis corrosion)
That's the first report we've had of rust in that area. I thought you were going to say on the forward part of the rear wheel arch - the dogleg where it meets the rocker panel. Wally's used, high-km 2014 has/had a bit of rust there.
The local NAPA cars are a Versa Note and a Spark. Parts Source has a Micra.
