When we first learnt that the Mitsubishi Mirage's sedan-bodied counterpart was going to be called the Attrage, we were rather amused, to say the least. Knowing Japan's unique way with English words, the reflex assumption was that the name was a portmanteau of the words 'attractive' and 'Mirage.'
As it turned out, we were right – according to Mitsubishi, it was indeed contrived based on that complimentary adjective, and although no official mention was made of the other contributing word, I think we can safely rule out 'rage' and 'age,' don't you?
With its Thai launch on the horizon, we leapt across the northern border in late June to join the international media test drive event, where we had a chance to briefly try the new Mitsubishi Attrage out on a race circuit.
Join us as we find out just how attractive a Mirage it is.
