Oh - and I also did a bit of digging concerning the name game that Mitsu Canada & Mitsu U.S. are playing. (They still haven't told us what the car will be called.)
It appears to be a U.S. trademark dispute. It also appears they're actively working on it - still pursuing the M irage badge.
The fun part: 3 different companies are vying to own the name in the States, and the US trademark office hasn't granted it to any one of them ... yet.
In Europe, Mitsu ran into a similar trademark issue and ultimately dropped plans to use the name. So here's what a European
M irage looks like:
(Maybe you've heard of
Gemballa before.)
So in some European markets (Ireland, Netherlands & others), Mitsu is calling the new Mirage... wait for it... WAIT for it...

Kinda rolls off the tongue, don't it?
