Eclipse gets 'Evo' makeover
« on: 02:28PM 02/04/2008 »
In a bid to make it look more like an Evo, here is the 09 Eclipse. I know I'm in the minority here, but I've always liked these Eclipses despite their shortcomings.

I am with you, those eclipses are sexy. Now, back in the day, just not from 00-05.

Looks pretty good! The last style sucked. But they resurrected it for sure.

If they could just wrangle in the torque steer, it'd be much better.

Looks like a mix between the current eclipse, an evo and the gen 2.

I really do like this style.

My friend owns one and I love it. I hump it secretly when he is not around.

so what you guys are saying is they should build the Ralliart Eclipse concept that they showed at the 2005 Sema show.  AWD and 4G63.  Its all the Ecipse needs:

Forgive me because I didn't know the exact engine code for a car that isn't even on sale in that states yet, I won't make the mistake of falling out of favor of little Ran

According to mitsubishi's website the evo is coming out in "mid winter", whatever the hell that means but apparently isn't now, so that covers this bit:
Forgive me because I didn't know the exact engine code for a car that isn't even on sale in that states yet

And this part:
I won't make the mistake of falling out of favor of little Ran
means I don't want to say/do anything to make you mad with me.  And that you're short too, but I'm fat so it all works out

Cleared it up for ya?

But back on topic: couldn't just mitsubishi throw awd on the current model?  263hp v6, 6 speed transmission, and awd sounds pretty tempting to me.  But a lot of things appeal to me that don't appeal to anybody else
