At least that new Eclipse doesn't have those ridiculous gills on the current model...

[Encryptic]

Yeesh...looks like a Nissan 350Z mated with an Audi TT and their offspring was melted in a fire.

 

[Jejunum]

decade 2000: bubble / dome cars

 

[brxndxn]

that's definitely a chick's car

 

[Pepsi90919]

um yeah i wonder what the 2008 honda civic's gonna look like.

 

[StageLeft]

I'd say that picture resembles the final product only insomuch as the final, and that picture, both represent a car with 4 wheels. rbloedow at least posted some real pics

LOL at encryptic.

BTW, as mentioned elsewhere, only girls buy eclipses!

Anything's better than the current model. I never liked it.

Agreed. The current one looks like a damn Pontiac with ribbing.

and pretty damn expensive too.

You could get a Z (base model however) for the price of a fully loaded convertible Eclipse. I know I'm comparing convertible to Z, but still.

The Tiburon is better at the game (and cheaper too) than the Eclipse.

Looks like it's based on the new Galant platform with 3.8L V6 that should have 260-280hp (taken from popular mechanics)

If that's the case, it's gonna get even larger and fatter and crappier

But the V6 will finally be available with a manual. Not trying to defend it, just saying. I don't plan on switching from my Honda anytime soon

You can get a V6 manual combo with the current Eclipse
