It seems quite unfair to label the Mirage as the "worst" car in the American market. Sure from the average Joe standpoint it may not have the appeal of some random oversized SUV, but as long as it proves itself reliable and cheap to run it remains as a reasonable option for those who would otherwise look at either an older guzzler or a motorcyle (which would be a trade-off in both comfort and safety, plus having a lower passenger capacity). As a Latino, I would say that a brand-new Mirage is more likely to be perceived as a reasonable option by someone like me than a farm boy who grew up surrounded by rusted old trucks with their gas-guzzling V8s.
