was never a fan of the eclipse

The new model looks pretty slick. The most recent body style looked like total crap.

Agreed. Saw a few of the new models in person and they look quite good. The V6 GT sounds quite good too, especially compared to the old V6 GT. Has a nice little purr to it.

not a bad car, I'd whip it.

also, dont generalize between "man" and "woman" cars.

(unless its something like a VW bug)

I owned a 98 Spyder, loved it. I heard all the "girls car" comments but they came mostly from 16 year old kids. I can't tell you how many times I had women come chat it up cause they loved that car..and if that makes it a girls car...I'm OK with that

A 1999 GS is a woman's car. 2.0L I-4 140 bhp FWD. You gotta get the GSX or at least the GS-T if you're gonna buy a DSM.

Don't generalize I think my car is quite manly.



I don't care for the looks of that Eclipse but I saw a commercial last night for the new one that looks a lot better.

So do I. Nice bug. Is that a '56? Downright PIMP.

Close, it's a '57, last year for the oval windows.

Eclipse is not a girl's car, but it is a rice bucket.

 

[dxkj]

If the car is purple dont post the picture people might be biased based on color

 

[JulesMaximus]

I'm not a fan. Mitsu sucks balls.

 

[cjgallen]

I've always seen chicks in them. There's a hot redhead down the street who owns one.

Where do you live? My fiancee's 1998 Eclipse GS is for sale right now. I have about 8 craigslist buyers interested, but I'd sell it to an ATOTer first

PM me if you're interested.

 

[NutBucket]

Please don't waste money on a GS.

Damn, that's sweet. My Super will never look that good. Gotta love that long, sloping decklid (and that exhaust )
