NISSAN ~ DRIVEN!!!

NISSAN ~ OWNED!!!

MITSUBISHI ~ OWNED!!! :p

by what? the celica? the eclipse gts/gst/gsx will beat it and you don't have to drive it like you stole it to get to the power curve. the spec-v? the eclipse gts/gst/gsx will beat it. the altima, maxima, or wrx? the evo will beat them.

mitsu might be lacking in overall quality, but the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gen eclipses kick ass, the 3000gt also, and the evo... well, we'll wait and see what the evo does. mitsu makes some quality engines.[/quote]

Mitsubishi's entire lineup sucks

Lancer (minus the evo) -- sucks
Montero -- sucky slug
Montero Sport -- POS
Diamante -- whatever
Eclipse -- psssssssssshaw
Galant -- give me a break
3000GT -- overweight biatch which I think isn't sold here anymore

don't want to jump into your war or anything..but...
comparing celica to the eclipse...ok...sport coupe vs sport coupe fine...
but why would you compare the almighty evo to the altima or the maxima?
like apples and oranges...

Same reason why people say that the Altima/Maxima is faster than the Eclipse or other cars. (basically a pre-emptive strike to whoever was gonna say that the Altima/Maxima is faster than the Eclipse. :eek:)

hehe, this thread reminds me of how i was flirting with some check driving a Mini in NYC one hot day in June. of course, i didn't have my Maxima with me (was in the Auto Body shop because of somebody driving a POS Eclipse plowed into my side doors :|) i was driving a Saturn rental car.

but it was funny seeing that little POS car going back and forth in NYC traffic. :)

LOL - Scared turtle.


That term was coined after the phenomena of one's balls retracting upon submerging in very cold water. I guess it would accurately describe a mini cooper after my car was finished with it.

:D
