2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse

[NiKeFiDO]

remind me kinda of the newer Dodge Neons. But its still an improvement. Wonder if they fixed up the interiors from the crap they used to make

Yea, it would be more appealing if it were AWD or RWD, but I know the AWD is Evo territory now. So whats wrong with RWD? damn u mitsubishi! 🙁

making it RWD will make its tiny backseats virtually unusable at all. plus all you fast and the furious fanboys need to realize that the old turbo-charged GSX costed something around $27k. you can buy an Evo8 RS at that price.

😕

How would it being RWD make the backseats unuseable? It might cramp the trunk a little, and you'd have to have a bump in the middle of the floorpan depending on the driveshaft layout, but in a sport compact thats the last freaking thing you care about.

You do realize that a GSX was basically the same drivetrain as a Evo right? It just had different suspension geometry and body panels. For the longest time, it was the closest thing we could get to a Evo in the States.

Cliffs notes : You are retarded.

your point being? you can now buy a freaking Evo8 RS for the same price with all wheel drive and a turbo 2.0 in a sedan form. why the hell would you want an eclipse GSX? idiot.

I'd want one because 4 doors and an upright body look the suck compared to a low slunk sleek 2 door.

Is the reliability on the Eclipse really that bad?

Apparently sales numbers don't agree with that math of yours 🙂

 

[icejunkie]

Audi TT, Scion TC, Hyundai Tiburon hybrid! 😛

[RbSX]

It looks like it's an audi TT with the read jacked up.. I like it more than the current model but I still think the 95-1999 generation is much cleaner.

No, it's worse. Anyway, mitsubishi is a farce of a brand name, barely able to stay in business in North America, thanks to its asinine lending practices combined with substandard cars. Would you buy a car from a manufacturer that has a very real possibility of closing shop in the near future?

Coupe vs Sedan retard.

Heres another point for you while we're beating a dead horse to death. The Evo 8 has useable backseats WHILE having all of the associated hardware for a RWD vehicle (rear diff and driveshaft for starters).

 

[StageLeft]

If 260 HP can really be had for $20k, that's not bad. Unfortunately power alone doesn't sell a vehicle, which is why very few people are driving SRT4s. This will probably sell well through, especially to greasy white boys!

 

[CraigRT]

Definitely not bad... better than the current POS!

I don't know why they don't go back to a turbo design (4 cylinder) instead of a 6 though.

oh well!

 

[Actaeon]

It's a Mitsubishi.

Enough said.

I don't know! Those incentives are REALLY tempting! *nudge nudge*

 

[n7]

I have liked every Eclipse, & i like this one too 😀

 

[kevman]

only steers and queers like this car, steers can't post on ATOT so that about narrows it down.

 

[dudeman007]

WTF is wrong with some of you people. Idiots judge a car by the name. Mitsubishi isn't even a bad company, and the car looks great anyways.
