The average age of vehicles on U.S. roads is 11.8 years. That translates into some people driving some older vehicles for sure.
Geo Metro hasn't been made since 2001, & you still those around. Mirages will be around for quite some time. A lot of them will also bite the dust.
Why are Sparks more popular? 3,000 Chevy dealerships in the States.
There are 350 Mitsubishi dealerships in the States & only 90 in Canada. Nissan has about 1,080 in the States, plus some Infiniti dealers.
If there is a good Mitsubishi dealership in Wisconsin, I am not aware of it. That's a huge issue for this brand. I like my Mirage, but I am not impressed by the company. Then again no one is presently impressing me. If I could pick an interesting brand, it would be Suzuki. I like what they offer in small cars, but it may be a case of the grass is greener on the other side of the fence (or in this case ocean)?
