4g Eclipse Part Ii

[JDM]

Well I found a picture, and heard some things from a guy who works at the Eclipse plant. This picutre is pretty close to what it's going to look like. The spy picture was way off... And I guess we'll have to wait until the Detroit Auto Show to know for sure, but they're calling it the EVO based Eclipse. Which means all that RWD V6 stuff was all BS...

Its gona be oh snap just like the 3g's :) Great pictures :P

Can't they just make a 2G again. Are they just too fucking stupid to improve on something that works and sell it agian. Fucking idiots! Mitsubishi is about as oh snap as honda these days.

[CVD]

Its supposed to be a 3.8 V6 with two small hybrid style electric motors, one driving the front wheels the other driving the rear.

Lets just hope this car never makes it into production, and they just start branching off the Evo.

Well there are quite a few insiders and employees of Mitsu corporate on the Evo boards, and this article, which I'll find a link to, states that the eclipse according to Mitsu, will be based off of the Evo... Take that for what it's worth...


And secondly...

How many 3g's do you see??? Mitsu isn't dumb, they're fuckin brilliant!! Make a slow 4cy and optional 6cyl that's pretty, so all the dumb pretentious 20 something yuppies run and buy it so they look good when they leave VIP at the quest on Sat nights. If I'm in the car business, and people want pink cars with polka-dots, then I give them pink cars with polka-dots, and I put CD and leather in it, call it GTS, and charge them WAY too much and justify it by banking off of the reputation of the Eclipse nomenclature...

I guess we'll have to wait 2 weeks to see what Mitsu shows us at Detroit...

I'm pumped :banana:

That would be an awesome car if it was turboed and AWD.
