    *I think this is the year they started to sell Mitsus in Canada, but I'm not 100% sure
    I had to look that up. I was sure they sold stuff here in the 80's-90's but I guess it was all rebadged stuff with dodge/eagle/plymouth emblems. Dodge d-50, plymouth laser,eagle summit etc....

    Thank you, Eggman. I'm still driving my Mirage, in fact I am doing a touch-up paint job with my car today. Just fixing some gravel nicks on the hood.

    Yea eh Fummins, they built the Eagle Talon side by side with the Mitsu Eclipse at their old plant in Illinois. But never imported "true" Mitsubishis to Canada until after that deal between Chrysler and Mitsubishi was over. I think that was called Diamond Star motors.

    Actually I really like the Eagle Talons.

    Just a few weeks ago, I had an older co-worker who, when hearing I drive the Mitsubishi Mirage, start telling me about their 80s Dodge Colt. So it wasn't like people didn't know they were driving fake Dodge Mitsubishis.

    Sounds like the older Mirages were pretty good cars too.

    Does anyone here own the Ralliart edition I saw at a TacoBell in Cleveland, MS on the rainy night of Feb.10?
    I walked out to my mirage and saw a lone car in the drive thru. I hadn't seen that color scheme before and I stood out in the rain looking at it. The driver probably thought I was some kind of freak who was gonna try to jump in the passenger side although I never got closer than 20 feer from it. I realized today it was probably a Ralliart and Google confirmed my suspicion.
