Ok, I am going to have to say that the 2013 Mirage is REALLY growing on me.

1. It doesn't look THAT bad. Almost reminiscent of a first gen Insight....from certain angles, anyway.
2. 57.3 MPG? Seriously? What other car can achieve that without battery packs or alternating current or diesel fuel?
3. We always complain that cars get fatter as each new generation is released. Look at the new Civic compared to the 1980's...or the Corolla...or even the Swift (European one vs. original). Finally: a modern day Metro/Swift/Firefly/Sprint/(insert the name of any other $h1t box here) the way it was always meant to be.
