I'm with you on that one. I was also thinking new G6 front, 1st/2nd gen Eclipse mid-section and Audi TT rear.

I think it's a HUGE improvement from the last generation. At least in looks...

What Mitsubishi needs is a grandslam. All of their products (minus the EVO) blend into their fields. No standout performers. Diamante? Galant? Lancer? I don't think most people even know about them.

I'd like it alot better if it was FI, had four wheel drive, and was reasonably light. It doesn't look like it'll be any of these, and I believe those are the features that made it a hit in the first place, with racers and posers alike. Ricers need somebody to imitate, to really latch onto a make of car, I figure.

I dont mind the looks, not bad at all. Whats the sticker price on these?


19k for the GS and probably 22k and up for the 260hp GT. I wonder what 6 spd they are using, if its the new one from the Evo MR, then :thumbsup: .

Bringing a post up from the dead but they just tested this new Eclipse and the numbers are surprising. Just thought I would share the info ;-) .

POS FWD went :
0-60: 5.8 seconds!
1/4 mile: 14.4 @ 101mph! :thumbsup:

Taken from www.club4geclipse.com

Just to compare, the G35 coupe 0-60 in 5.9 and 1/4 mile in 14.4 @100.6, 350Z 5.6 and 14.1 @ 101.8

The rest of the Road and Track article is in that link.

It looks like the back end of a 350Z and the front end of the new Pontiac Solice...very ugly looking car
