    I didn’t catch the trim level but by the looks of the badge on the hatch it looks like a Rockford Fosgate edition.

    Me too. You can get black mirrors from Rock Auto and probably find a set of those rims used.

    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...

    1. 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.
    2. 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.

    Haha lol! That's why if I wrap anything on the interior it's all black no crazy colors for me.

    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.

    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.
