No they wouldn't. They had the Evo and no one bought it. I'm guessing because us enthusiasts are pretty far and few in the general population, and Mitsu's god awful interior on the Evo. I know it's all about being a race car, but if I had to endure that interior every day, I'd likely drive the car into a telephone pole just to get me out of it.

Think Spartan. Absolutely Spartan. You're essentially paying for the suspension, engine and drivetrain. Everything else was an after thought.

Wonder how long until they pull out of the US market?

In fact, I'm not sure I understand why Mitsubishi joined RenaultNissan

Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC) debuted the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross compact SUV to the world at the 2017 Geneva International Motor Show. The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross is a globally strategic model that will be shipped first to Europe in the fall of 2017, and then rolled out in Japan, North America, Australia and other regions.
The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross all-new compact SUV coupe will join MMC's global lineup of crossover SUVs: the ASX compact SUV and the Outlander and Outlander PHEV mid-size SUVs.
The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross is a fusion of sharp coupe looks and dynamic SUV mobility with signature Mitsubishi styling and performance.
Other distinguishing features are its design that motivates the driver to get out and go, connectivity that inspires new fun adventures, and all-wheel control technology which delivers an enjoyable, reassuring feel that elevates the driving experience.
Characteristic Dynamic Design
The distinctly sharp and dynamic Mitsubishi SUV coupe form is distinguished by: its wedge profile with distinctive beltline and strong character line; a forward raked rear window; the sharply cut off rear gate and short overhang; and beefy fenders projecting the image of a powerful athlete.
MMC's DYNAMIC SHIELD front design concept refers to the protective shield shape visually formed by the black central area represented by a black radiator grille that symbolizes the performance of the car. The black area is embraced from three directions - from the left, right, and bottom. DYNAMIC SHIELD emphasizes the front end's functionalities aimed at protecting both people and the car itself.
The "Dynamic and Characteristic" rear design is distinguished by the almost cubist styling created around the high-mounted, stretched rear lamps and by how it horizontally divides the forward-rake rear window into two. When illuminated, the tubular LED brake lights and the central LED hi-mount stop light form a single bar of light running across the tail, giving Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross a broad and stable appearance from the rear.
A new red body color joins the palette. The standard coating is layered with semi-transparent red and clear coating, and this creates a high color saturation and intensity that produces a highly-refined finish.
The horizontal dashboard, silver metal frames and black/silver monotone color scheme create a refined interior that is both dynamic and sporty. With its thin display audio and the Head Up Display, the futuristic cockpit inspires a sense of excitement for the driver in the vehicle.
Maximizing luggage space utility without spoiling its stylish coupe-SUV shape, the rear seat uses a 60:40 split with long slide-and-recline adjustment. In addition to providing rear occupants with plenty of legroom, this also allows them to settle on their favorite seating posture and enjoy long trips with ample headroom despite a roof that slopes down toward the rear.
Connectivity inspires new fun adventures
The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross is fitted with the Smartphone Link Display Audio system, a Touchpad Controller and Head Up Display which allow the driver to handle and interpret different types of information more easily and safely.
Smartphone Link Display Audio supports Apple CarPlay, the smarter, safer way to use your iPhone in the car. The driver can use Siri or the Smartphone Link Display Audio's touch screen to get directions optimized for traffic conditions, make and receive calls, access text messages, and listen to music, all in a way that allows them to stay focused on the road. Smartphone Link Display Audio also supports the Android AutoTM which provides voice controlled operation of Google MapsTM, Google PlayTM music and other apps. The Touchpad Controller can operate audio functions like radio, as well as Apple CarPlay.
Placing the Touchpad Controller in the center console allows the driver to operate the Smartphone Link Display Audio easily and without having to change position.
The Head Up Display unit makes driving safer by presenting vehicle speed, data from the active safety systems and other necessary information that minimizes eye movement and provides instant readability.
Enjoyable and stable driving with all-wheel control technology
Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross uses an electronically-controlled 4WD system that feeds the optimum amount of torque to the rear wheels as required by the driving situation and surface conditions. MMC's Super All-Wheel Control (S-AWC) integrated vehicle dynamics control system incorporates brake-activated AYC.
The addition of a 3-point strut tower brace at the front and the strategic use of structural bonding at the rear in particular have increased body rigidity. The tougher body and detail optimization of the suspension offer precise handling and superior vehicle stability.
Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross offers two powertrains that do full justice to a stylish SUV coupe in delivering the right balance of power and environmental performance. The new 1.5L direct-injection turbocharged gasoline engine is mated to a new CVT with 8-speed Sport Mode manual override. The 2.2L common rail direct-injection turbocharged diesel engine modified specifically for Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross is mated to a new 8-speed automatic transmission. Both powertrain combinations offer the driver brisk driving experience.

Pics must be of a diesel version, for some other market. No gas engine red lines that low.
You you know the sports car is dead when a company uses its previous sports car name and places it on a shitty fucking crossover. What a shame. But then again, the last two generations of the eclipse were shit anyway, so maybe they're on to something

- Updated styling, more standard equipment, and a new infotainment system are all included in the upgrades to the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross SUV for 2022.
- There's also new standard driver-assistance features and revisions to the SUV's suspension system.
- Pricing starts at $24,590, and the updated Eclipse Cross should go on sale this spring.
The updated 2022 Eclipse Cross (Mitsubishi skipped the 2021 model year for this vehicle) ditches the awkward two-window rear hatchback design of the 2020 model and inherits a number of front-end styling enhancements. Mitsubishi has also upgraded the Eclipse Cross's cabin by including a new 8.0-inch infotainment display on LE, SE, and SEL models. The center console has been tweaked, and the top-spec SEL trim can now be ordered with light-gray leather upholstery and a power-adjustable passenger seat.
Although the wheelbase hasn't changed, the 2022 Eclipse Cross is 5.0 inches longer overall than the previous model year. Passenger space has remained the same, but Mitsubishi says total interior cargo space has increased slightly to 50.1 cubic feet—an improvement of 1.2 cubic feet. All models now come standard with driver-assistance features such as forward collision warning, automated emergency braking, pedestrian detection, and lane-departure warning. More advanced features, including automatic high beam headlamps, are also available.
Changes to the SUV's suspension are intended to improve ride quality, and include retuned shocks and springs. What hasn't changed is the Eclipse Cross's powertrain>>>P, which consists of a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine, a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) and front-wheel drive; all-wheel drive is optional on all four of the Eclipse Cross's trims for $1600.
The base ES trim starts at $24,590, which makes it about $2000 cheaper to start than segment leaders such as the 10Best award winning Mazda CX-5>>>P, the Honda CR-V>>>P, and the Volkswagen Tiguan>>>P. Mid-range LE and SE models start at $25,940 and $27,340 respectively; a panoramic sunroof is optional on the SE for $1000 and is bundled with black-painted roof rails.
The top-most SEL model starts at $28,590 and comes fairly loaded, although a $2100 Touring package is available and adds heated rear seats, the panoramic sunroof, a head-up display, adaptive cruise control, and an eight-speaker stereo system, among other items. Expect to see the 2022 Eclipse Cross in Mitsubishi dealerships this spring.

^ Tesla comparisons aside. Mitsu has definitely been on the decline.
That said, I do see quite a few new ones being driven around here. Dealer network is crap for this area. I'm not even sure where the closest dealer is anymore.
Their cars may be & but people are buying them.

^ Outlander PHEV is one of the most popular cars around here. The rest of the lineup is probably getting deep discounts to move off the lot. Friend has the previous gen RVR, and while it does feel like something out of the 90s interior wise, it's still a solid drive and they do throw a lot of features in for the price.
That said, I'll be curious to see what the Mitsu version of the Nissan Ariya triplet will be like.
