In the US, if a car stays the same for too long (and especially in a highly competitive sedan segment), people won't buy it anymore because they know they can get something better, and are willing to pay for it. In India on the other hand, people want a car they can afford with some basic options. As most people there will never buy a fully equipped car, it's not necessary to keep updating a car. What Mitsubishi did with the Lancer is a strange move. It doesn't seem the right market for such an action (especially if you consider the Lancer has disappeared from the Japanese market, where something like this occurs more often), and it wasn't that popular compared to its competition anyway. Of course, I have no actual experience with American or Indian consumers, but I'm just judging on the basis of key trends for those markets.

Well USA is (at least in the eyes of eastern coutries) area with tougher requiments. In Russia, you need to have tough car (as I say, every soviet car is more or less suitable for off-roading) with no eletrical gadgets, So what you would update, when you have cheap car that can ride on 76 octane petrol with lot of spare parts and easy to repair... That is why are eastern new car markets filled with slightly or not at all updated vehicles that run production more than 15 years. But europeans see USA as a country that proably needs modern cars with newest and coolest gadgets. That is proably why Desscythe17 was curious about the fact that car this old is still slightly facelifted than replaced by new model. But yes, it is fact that USA is a country that was able to produce sport car with solid rear axle in 21st century, and not that much things objectively changed in US market.

Plus, most auto journalists consider the Mirage to be a car from the 90's in a modern world that is actually selling decently, so why not?
