Re: o6 eclipse premiers at la auto show
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
Yeah a 3.8 that barely musters enough nuts to obtain 260hp.

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

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.

Re: o6 eclipse premiers at la auto show
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.
