Nice concept.

But, I think the new Mitsubishi Eclipse should be a AWD car with a turbocharged engine like the first gen.

sounds interesting......weird how they're runnin the rears on elec, presumably to save weight, and the fronts on gas...... i like the side exaust outlets tho.. and w/ the flames in the rear view pic it looks likes its pretty geared towards ricers...sad really.....it'd be nice to see some 'more realistic' drawings or pix if nebodys got them.

I must say a very original concept car. Really looks futuristic. So as a concept a big hit but as a car... damn they overdesigned it, I think it's really ugly

i think that unless they are going to make the eclipse AWD turbo they should just forget it and build something else they have givin eclipse such a bad name with the 3rd gen

I don't like the front. It seems Mitsubishi is going to direct his design in this way but i am not a fan.

Damn, that looks ugly. The car belongs in Minority Report, not on our roads.
