I figured with how much market share they had and advertising they were doing, they’d be making money hand over fist from just shipping boxes of foam all over the country.

I present: Old Cummer Avenue, in Toronto, Ontario

In Canada it competes with the current Chevy Spark and the recently departed Nissan Micra. Both of those cars had similar MSRPs to the Mirage.

How about petcock?
