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

AJ 01-03-2004 04:24 PM

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.

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:

Or an oil cooler like the new Civics have.

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

Raptor 01-04-2004 10:18 AM

Actually that thing doesn't look all that bad. Now once the engine options and performance numbers are out, the eclipse could again be a decent ride. It's been a long time since that was the case, 1994 to be exact :razz2:

I think the best vintage comes from the '99 harvest :razz2:

AJ 01-04-2004 10:50 AM

Looks like shit! And ok Mitsu isn't stupid. Just a bunch of corprate fucktards.

Damn skippy!

Shane@DBPerformance 01-04-2004 01:40 PM

Actually Mitsu is stupid. You see so many 3Gs out there because they let everyone out there get with 0 down 0 interest and it's come back to haunt them since so many of their loans are going into default and they are having to be repossessed. There was a news article on this not to long back.

Jana 01-04-2004 05:30 PM

I kind of like it....but don't think I'd ever buy it.

At-Least-It's-An-Evo 01-04-2004 06:37 PM

Might as well call it the Mitsushitti Gran Prix cause it looks like one.

Also, wtf is the interior suppose to resemble, a spaceship?

MATCHBX 01-04-2004 07:03 PM

Link didn't work too well.

Here's the link.

Edit----Although, now it's telling me I have to register so I don't know if this one will work for others or not.

Matt D. 01-04-2004 07:29 PM

Like I said on another forum that thing looks like it belongs in orbit around Mars instead of on the road.

Ill wait until the engine comes out, then ill decide. based on looks so far i like it. they really need to hire back the creators of the 99 and open diamond star again :dsmrule: :dsmrule: :dsmrule:
