The Mirage had only body-colored bumpers in 1989, and the black bumpers started in 1990. For the Colt, black bumpers were on the base model in 1989. I don't see a big logo in the grille, but looks more like the "Colt" badge that was in the upper center grille.

The Mirage sold in far greater numbers than the Colt did - e.g. 20,000 Dodge Colts (and 18,000 Plymouth Colts) sold in 1990 compared with 50,000 Mirages. -- Last edit: 2023-10-04 06:37:02

Another thing to keep in mind with the sales numbers is that the Colt was only available these years as a hatchback, while the Mirage sold both hatch and sedans. I'd have to look it up, but I'm pretty sure that a majority of Mirage sales were sedans. I know the Summit sedan outsold the hatch.
