No. I picked a few out of the list :

The "citybugs" (of which George is one) remain the most popular.
Citroen C1 4,668
Peugeot 107 6,307
Toyota Aygo 4,752
Total - 15,727

The VW Up! trio
SEAT Mii 1,141
Skoda Citigo 1,812
VW Up! 5,472
Total - 8,425

Ford Ka 6,069

Kia/Hyundai pair
Kia Picanto 5,110
Hyundai i10 5,969
Total - 11,079

Suzuki Alto 4,296
Nissan Pixo 492
Total 4788


Renault Twingo 317

Fiat Panda 2,453

Even the rough driving, impractical Suzuki Jimny sells 306 - almost half the Mirage figure.

Mitsubishi in the UK survive only on sales of the EVO models and some 4x4s - thats it. The Mirage is not a rescue model.

EDIT some more analysis - The Vauxhall Adam is a brand new model, already outselling the Mirage.

Vauxhall Adam 1,068
