Saw a bright green one yesterday. The green ones sure show up in the heavy fog better than a silver or grey car.

So I ended up in Munich, Germany somehow and found this guy parked along the street (and in front of one of my favourite cars, the Fiat 500):

I'm on holiday actually to visit my girlfriend (who happens to be working/studying here), and some other relatives.
Actual conversation after seeing that:
Girlfriend: "I didn't know that you were able to fit your car in your suitcase."
Me: "Well, small cars have their perks."
Girlfriend: "But you had to take the spoiler off to make it fit."

Another German Space Star sighting, this time in Berlin!
(This picture was taken from the passenger seat of a Trabant, of all things. I was driving and my girlfriend snapped the photo.)
This week I've also seen another green Space Star in Munich (with a spoiler, so I know it's a different car from the first one), and a yet another green Space Star in Nuremberg. Unfortunately I wasn't able to take pictures of those cars. If it weren't for @atomgnom's blue car I would have thought that this car is available in Germany only in green.

See if you can snag a rear badge for new member "elvis"...
Thread: Wanted: Rear "Space Star" letters for 2014 Mirage
I'm surprised the German market doesn't get the rear spoiler on the base car. Canada/US do.

Gosh, I keep seeing green Space Stars in this part of the world - one in Vienna and another in Regensburg! Wish I had pics for those.
And then finally, at the train station in Übersee, Bavaria, a sighting of one of the mythical non-green cars!

^ Must have been visiting from elsewhere.

I spotted another one today in my small city! First in over a month! A Kermit green CVT in a parking lot. I chatted with the owner and he seemed happy with it: mentioned that he got a good deal and likes the small size.
He's also seen the other local purple one:
So that makes 2 or possibly 3 Mirages in my no-Mitsubishi-dealership town.
