Finally the WRX has some competition. Hopefully they keep the base price under 25k but I doubt it.

nah. Eclipse is 2-door. Preferably I wouldn't go any lower than the Lancer Evo's myself.. so even the Eclipse is trash to me. Although I'd prefer a WRX STi over a Lancer Evo. :)

Come on man, how can you call a car trash. A lot of people dream about owning an eclipse, it might not be your preference but dont call it trash.

Looks slick! DSG, limited slip, AWD. Looks like a really good bargain when compared to its big brother if it's in the mid to high 20s. Forced induction means cheap HP tuning too :D

Hopefully I will see some at the track (road courses) once they come out!

I'm sorry for forming an opinion. I shall try not to in the future. :roll:

seriously, I just don't prefer them, and they really aren't that great compared to other cars priced similarly. But mostly, for me its the association with the import scene.
and personally, I think they've taken the Eclipses in the wrong direction. They are trying to make them look super powerful, and couple them with weak internals when taking into account the weight of the car.
Trash wasn't the word I was looking for, I'll be honest (actually, looking at that post of mine, I'm not quite sure what it was all supposed to mean, doesn't make much sense to me), but I sure as hell don't like them.

Agreed, I personally havent much liked the direction they went since the turbocharged models of the late 90's.

the lancer is probably the nicest looking econobox ever made, and with that motor it probably goes like a bat out of hell, but it's still a mitsubishi.

it's not a bad car, but they have somewhat watered it down and turned it from a competitor with integra into a competitor with solara.

So is this basically a 235hp evoX on the cheap? How will mitsu sell it for less when it basically has everything the 35k evoX has?
Interesting nonetheless...

They will change it when it comes time to sell I'm sure. Also It will have to be a mid to high 14sec car as to not impede on evo sales which kind of disappoints me.
