The 2016 Mitsubishi Mirage Rockford Fosgate Edition is a Mirage with a fancy radio

Mitsubishi just announced one of their reveals at this year’s 2015 Los Angeles Auto Show, which also just proves how lazy the automaker is getting with trying to remain competitive.

Meet the Mitsubishi Mirage Rockford Fosgate Edition, essentially a near-fully equipped Mirage with a fancy radio–the perfect option you’d need to distract yourself from making the choice to buy a new Mirage.

It starts life as a Mirage DE spec, meaning it comes with a leather-wrapped multi-function steering wheel, Bluetooth connectivity, and cruise control. But wait! Alloy wheels and special edition badging are also standard, because, who would want steelies and hubcaps with a radio system that’s probably worth more than the car?

Speaking of which, this special edition Mirage comes with a 300-watt Rockford Fosgate ecoPUNCH sound system, with dual 6.5-inch long-throw subwoofers, and a 300-watt Class-D ecoPUNCH amplifier with Digital Signal Processing, for what is most likely the most interesting thinga bout the car.

Auto climate control is standard, along with piano black trim and keyless entry, with power windows and a split-folding rear-seat.

Prices start at $14,945, which is quite expensive for a high-end sound system on wheels–oh, yea, we forgot there was the rest of the car too…

Check out the press release below.
