Funny you should mention that! I captured my first Mirage in the wild just last week, sporting a set of winter wheels/tires:



I've actually seen 3 in the wild now, but the other two were going the other way on the highway, so this was my first pic opportunity.

They're selling more of these in the U.S. than the company predicted (~1k/mo). Canadian numbers are pretty modest though (~150-200/mo, about the same as the Spark), so I'm surprised I've spotted 3 already.
