I remember the time when Mitsubishi made a better Eclipse. It was a car with turbocharged engine with AWD system... It was a long time ago. :roll:

I dislike the look of this car quite a bit. Front is way nasty - looks cheap, like they imitated an economy car imo. and the rear lacks impression.

i think i prefer the previous two models.

I don't like the car! The concept looks quite better.

This car has one possible saving grace the way I see it. It has to have a performance AWD variant. Seeing as this didin't happen with the 3G, I'm not holding my breath. Good luck selling it to people who can get credit elsewhere...

That's why I've said usually

In spite of the example you've come up with (which I don't find a good one ) I still think that concepts generally do look better than the car which appears afterwards.
