I'm almost afraid to say this, but I think it's starting to grow on me just a little bit.

Re: o6 eclipse premiers at la auto show
 

I think I would want to move the side mirrors up where they are supposed to be...but it would still be ugly.

Re: o6 eclipse premiers at la auto show
 

I honestly can't judge until I see one on the road.

Re: o6 eclipse premiers at la auto show
 

I kind of like it, but it's hard to say until I see it in person.

Re: o6 eclipse premiers at la auto show
 

no where does it mention if its awd, fwd or rwd...

but knowing mitsu designers... fwd it will be..

:(

Re: o6 eclipse premiers at la auto show
 

its 3.8 fwd only at the this time and no official offering of the spyder version either...

chris

Re: o6 eclipse premiers at la auto show
 

Yeah a 3.8 that barely musters enough nuts to obtain 260hp.

Re: o6 eclipse premiers at la auto show
 

Look Mom, it's a FWD 350z!

Re: o6 eclipse premiers at la auto show
 

Basically. (sp?)


I like the styling... More of a 2G feel. Better than my Grand Am wanna be.

The price I hear is supposed to be the same as mine, so that burns my cookies a little bit.

For a car to compete with the Honda Accord EXV6 and the Toyota Camry Solara, good

For a car that ALSO has to compete with the Nissan 350Z, Mazda RX-8, and the Ford Mustang... not even close.

Re: o6 eclipse premiers at la auto show
 

Yea more than like will not be able to compete with the 350Z, RX-8, RX-7, Supra and the Mustang.

Re: o6 eclipse premiers at la auto show
 

how would a fwd eclipse compete against all those rwd vehicles? I dont get it .... they arent even close to being grouped together?

Re: o6 eclipse premiers at la auto show
 

This is probably one of the ugliest next to the 3g. At least you can dish it, but Dish on a FWD = Ghey.

Re: o6 eclipse premiers at la auto show
 

Chris, you stole my thunder. hehe. ;)

I like the new Eclipse and I hardly ever like the styling on new cars. I too wish it had a little more horsepower and AWD. But considering how nuts car manufactures are getting these days, maybe in the years to come they'll bump up the horsepower and give it some AWD traction.

Its a mix between a '95 Dodge Stealth and a newer Audi TT with Cavalier headlights. That interior is hideous too, I can see it driving anyone nuts within 10 minutes.

Re: o6 eclipse premiers at la auto show
 

I'm diggin the side view, but that's about it. It seems to be a nice car for the 'average' car consumer, however anyone that wants a REAL sports car will probably be horribly disapointed by Mitsu's drastic overhyping of this car.

Re: o6 eclipse premiers at la auto show
 

ick.

Re: o6 eclipse premiers at la auto show
 

that interior is an option thank god.... Its called the avant gard edition... for the " young folks" that like different style interior.... ::P ewwee

Re: o6 eclipse premiers at la auto show
 

Yuck. Simply yuck. Is it really that hard to build a nice car?

Re: o6 eclipse premiers at la auto show
 

2 Door Sports cars from $25,000-$30,000, Around 250-300 hp, offering similar powertrain. V6/V8/Rotary whatever...
