" At the  2011 Tokyo Motor Show, Mitsubishi introduced an all-new Mirage. If the sedan looks more like the subcompact Mitsubishi Colt than the Lancer-coupe-like Mirage we last saw here in the States, circa Y2K, it&amp;#039;s because it is. The new Mirage is an evolution of the Global Small Concept that stood in as the replacement for the seventh-generation Colt shown during the 2011 Geneva Auto Show.   Videombeddedmedia&amp;quot;&amp;amp;gt;      2012 Mitsubishi Mirage     The new Mirage reflects Mitsubishi&amp;#039;s new greener direction. Rally-inspired all-wheel-drive performance has long since given way to concerns for lower carbon dioxide emissions. This isn&amp;#039;t simply a matter of meeting Corporate Average Fuel Economy requirements, either. For the Mirage, Mitsubishi is targeting best-in-class fuel efficiency levels of 30 kilometers per liter, which equates to a whopping 70 mpg or so. With no mention of a hybrid, either.         2012 Mitsubishi Mirage     To achieve this lofty goal, Mitsubishi went to great engineering lengths to reduce weight and rolling resistance, while improving aerodynamics, braking and the powertrain. The engine is a diminutive 1.0-liter 3-cylinder equipped with MIVEC variable valve timing and auto stop/start. The transmission is a CVT responsible for distributing power to the front two wheels. No wide, gummy tires here; the Mirage wears 165/65R-14 skinnies. The 5-seat Mirage has an overall length of 146.1 in., a width of 65.6 in., and a height of 58.7 in.         2012 Mitsubishi Mirage     While nothing has been confirmed, we&amp;#039;ve heard Mitsubishi plans to bring the new Mirage to the U.S. Sales of the new Mirage start in Thailand in March.
