The latest Eclipse is the fourth generation of the sporty coup?, goes on US sale in 2005 and comes with either 2.4-litre four-cylinder or 3.8-litre V6 engines.

What do you lot think of this car?
 
looks too futuristic to be in production next year... I don't think the world is ready for this sort of design... btw is the car really short?
 
It looks like the car came to a stop too fast and everything shifted forwards. :p
The 3.8L V6 should be decently quick though.
 
well... I read it awhile back Mitsubishi was quite serious about producing that next year... but TBH Mitsu. Eclipses have gotten worse since the 2nd Gen
 
I never liked them, the only one I've seen is on the fast and the furious and it was damn poop. I think I saw one in the MacDrive, they are REALLY rare here...and if you see one, it's probably stock...or you have to get some civic bumpers and spoilers, I wouldn't bother shipping eclipse stuff
 
Here's some more pics:

I'm quite fond of the stylings personally. Anything that seems too futuristic is a good thing imo :)
 
Hmmm on second look it looks quite nice actually :oops:

And now it reminds me of an old Ford GT90 (??) that thing in NFS 1.
But I guess I wasn't taken serious anyway :lol:
 
Wow. GT90 was horrendous. I actually kinda liked the front headlights but that's it. That Eclipse is disgusting. I gotta agree with Josty, it really does seem it came to a stop too fast and shifted everything forward. Even then, the front headlights are very awkard.
 
I'm all for futuristic and bizzare looking concepts, but I do not think that Eclipse belongs on the road quite yet. :?
 
^that's one nice looking car
 
this is an old concept, they won't produce that.

It's way too futuristic for the american market :roll:

Word. And like Ren said, North America wouldn't buy it......yet. I quite like some things about the car, but Mitsu shouldn't call it the Eclipse. I loathe the current one - Mitsu should just kill the line and reintroduce that concept in 5-10 years as a different name.
 
I thought the GT90 was absolutely gorgeous and still do. I also like this Eclipse quite a lot. Looks like an update of the Tigra. I can see it selling big personally.
 
If people say that this Eclipse is too futuristic I find it very easy to believe GT90 was well ahead of it's time. I did like it in NFS2, though(it was only in 2, not in the first), as I used to beat all my friends driving Mclarens with this.

OK, on topic: I quite like this new Eclipse, but I find the front lights a bit odd, not to mention that gray panel right below the windscreen. Other than that, I like the sleek, round shape of the car. I'm surprised that nobody has mentioned it, but the similarity between this and Audi TT is striking, especially on the rear.
