New Mitsubishi Eclipse GT (2006)
 
From the MMNA (Mitsubishi Motors North America comes a next-generation Mitsubishi Eclipse. This new Eclipse GT features 260 hp, 3.8 litre V6, 24-valves MIVEC engine that produces 260 pound torque... enough power to play around...but IMO, the rims are to small or the car a bit to high...

The looks are horrible, but it sounds like it might have some good performance figures with the 260hp V6.

I really, really hoped that they wouldn't even consider making the concept into the production model, but i kinda expected it to be this ugly. What makes it all worse is that it was designed minutes away from where i live and i couldn't do anything about it.

First of all, this is my return to the forums, i have been to busy to post for a while. This car is one of the biggest aesthetical disappointments since the bug eye scooby.

Fucking POS. It looks like SHIT. It they would make it RWD or AWD it wouldn't be so bad. But if they put those 260 hp/260 TQ through the front wheels it's gonna suck ass. :fist:

This is pretty much the car they will produce next year or later this year.

Shapes definitely does not look good. But nevertheless, it should be interesting engineering though.

Only on the basis that all engineering is interesting. But I see nothing special in the engineering of this car. :|

I think it looks pretty nice, cant see what all the fuss is about.

I also don't find it that bad...if the rims seemed small to me, I would buy some optional or aftermarket...no big deal.

I think it looks decent from the rear wheel forward. Not great but decent. The rear end, on the other hand, is ugly and doesn't fit the rest of the car at all
