Annnnnnd... they've just announced they're likely bringing the Mirage sedan to North America. No word on powertrain -- there was some corporate murmuring about a turbo for the U.S. to handle the slightly heavier (~40 kg / ~88 lbs) 3-box layout.

The hatchback has been exceeding Mitsu's modest sales projections in the U.S. so far...
