Well in talking to a "mitsu insider" here's what I've heard:

2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse will look EXACTLY like the E-Concept.

FWD for sure, possible AWD variant to follow, 3.8L SOHC V6 260hp

2006 Could also bring:

Galant Ralliart: 3.8L AWD SOHC V6 260 hp

Endeavor Ralliart: 4G63 AWD 250 hp

I was also told that there should be some major overhauling of the Lancer lineup with the new MR coming soon. Lancer platform could become 4G63 Dominant, with more Evo like models and trim available than not. More remenisant of RS GS GS-T GSX rather than ES, GS, RS, EX, OZ, Ralliart, etc....


Let the shit talking begin... :bounce:

MR is going to be out this fall....about $33k a bit more power and some nice suspension work, plus those airfoils.

And 6 speed!

I think all of the Evos will have the new turbo next year, not just the MR.

The Eclipse will also be a 6 speed.

The galant ralliart is rumored to have the same 6 speed.

Diamante and Montereo Full Size are both gone after this year.

Heres the problem! I want an Evo. That looks like the Evo 8, big wing and all, with the upgrades of the Evo RS, except probably with the jungle pack so I can have AC which I really dont like but compared to the SRT4 Its like it needs it. Then the MR is coming out with 6 speed and who knows what all other mods. Its getting to the point where I am just going to have to buy 2.

the MR has the ACD and AYC.


3.8L V6 for 260hp makes me wanna cry. Sad.

The 4g will be here in June. Prices stay the same, even though you get more power.

If an Endevor "evolution" comes, that could be the perfect family grocery go getter...

The EVO MR does not have a new turbo, it is the same 16G. They are getting more power by upping the boost to a peak of 20.x.

I have seen pics of the 4g Eclipse, and I dont like it. If you get SCC, its in the sept issue I think. I really dont like them at all. Heres some pics...http://www.thecarconnection.com/images/gallery/tmb/8155_image.jpg
