Bright red, sitting right in front of the dealer.

This thing is UGLY, nuff said. Good-bye Mitsu.

 

i saw one this past weekend down in raleigh, nc. it was at night. i could not see it well enough to comment. it looked like a resurrected merc cougar.

 

I wouldn't exactly call it quits for Mitsu yet...do you know how many 20-something women will buy those? I'm guessing quite a bit. And speaking of cougars, I think that's exactly this car's target audience

 

They've got problems...

There has been rumors about Mitsu pulling out of the US market for awhile now...

Haven't incurred one yet.

 

I thought it loked pretty cool.... better than the old one at least

 

my 1 and only post/thread of value to AZ.

 

Oh, they ARE screwed~!

 

(about Mitsu not making good cars.........)



Ive had 3 gens of Mirages/ lancers and i havent had a single problem with any of them...

 

yea ugly and way overpriced....GT model with aero kit- over $30,000!

 

Funny, I saw a dark blue one today. Very pretty color, but it couldn't save that bloated piece of shit

 

Dont like it from the pics I've seen, I guess I have to see it in person before making my final decision.

 

i saw a red one on the highway today!!! UGLY. i was pointing and laughing at the driver.. apparently the 17/18 year old girl looked very confused on why i was laughing. but she also looked kinda dumb so i guess she always look like that. she's gotta be pretty dumb to buy one anyways.

 

god i can't stand cars where you can't tell whether they are coming or going....... hey Mitsu - ever heard of a REAR END???????

the new Eclipse looks like a mix between a Pontiac Sunfire and a Audi TT. Way to totally ruin what used to be a good thing, Mitsu. Give me a 1992 Eclipse GSX over this horrendous thing....

 

i saw one on i-85 a couple weekends ago...the look will take some getting used to...in the meanwhile

 

I like it better better than the previous one with the multi-ridge door. I can't understand how they can change close to $30k for a little ass coupe. The power is very nice with a low 14 sec 1/4 mile and a braking distance from 60-0 of 14234124 seconds with the broken brakes.

 

The 3G is uglier than the 1G, 2G and 4G by far.

 

I had the 89 Colt GT and 89 Eagle Summit DOHC and both only had one problem: timing belt snapped w/<60k on the odometer. Luckily the labor for the repairs were covered by warranty (Eagle)/recall (Colt).

 

That thing looks like a Saturn. Piss poor.

 

How much does the Accord EX-V6 6spd coupe come out to down there in comparison?

 

Totally

I loved the 2G but the 3G was hirendous! I don't know what Mitsu were thinking!

 

Eclipse: Similarly equipped as Accord $26,969 MSRP
Headroom with Sunroof (in.,front/rear): 37.5/34.6
Legroom (in., front/rear): 42.8/29.2
Shoulder Room (in., front/rear): 54.2/51.2
Hip Room (in., front/rear): 53.7/44.4
Cargo Volume (cu. ft): 15.7
Passenger Volume (cu. ft.): 81.6 (80.2 with sunroof)

Accord: $26,950 MSRP
Headroom (in., front/rear) 37.5 / 36.1
Legroom (in., front/rear) 43.1 / 31.9
Shoulder Room (in., front/rear) 56.1 / 55.4
Hiproom (in., front/rear) 54.2 / 46.1
Cargo Volume (cu. ft.) 12.8
Passenger Volume (cu. ft.) 88.0

The Accord is a little cheaper even though I would never pay the MSRP. The Accord is a tad roomier then the new Eclipse. I'm not sure if the 3G was more roomy than the 2G, but the 2G sure was tiny. The Eclipse does own in warranty but they might not last the 10 yrs.

 

I've heard of those Accords running mid 14's in some instances. +10hp for premium gas too...I think I'd feel more comfortable getting the Accord and modding it (suspension first), than buying the Mitsu.

 

Yeah I think the fastest 6mt over at www.v6p.net hit 14.0 all motor with i/e/springs.

 

- the 3G? I don't even count that as an Eclipse... terrible... just terrible.

 

All you guys that think this new one looks better then the previous one........I dont know what youre smoking. This new is that fucking horrendous.

 

Different tastes. I like the E90 more than the E46.

 

2nd gen is best....it's been downhill since.

 

I hate the new Eclipse

 

So you think this:


looks better than this?:


Your stash > my stash

Seriously, both look so horrendous that if Mitsu reintroduced the 2G I'd give the to them.

 

the rear fenders are sexy, that's it though

 

Yeah I think the top one looks way better then the bottom one.

The new one looks so misproportioned and bulbous. At the last gen looks a little more sleek.

Neither of those offer the handling performance of the 2nd gen either, that sucks as well.

 

Neither looks good, but this new model is worse of all.

 

i saw a dude pimpin with his new white eclipse in the campus. he obviously didn't realize how gay he looked in that car.

 

that is one ugly car. i think hyudais are starting to look better than mitsu's. who the hell is designing their cars? they should get their vision checked.

 

Hey where'd you hear that? Is it becasue of the heavy V6 in the front?

 

i like it

 

They are larger cars in general, heavier, and yeah the V6 doesnt help.

 

IMO, the Eclipse looks terrible from the side.. The wheelbase is way too short
