I'm pretty sure that's the new Colt.

I wonder why car companies think we actually want cars thatt look like these?

That colt is horrible on second thought everything mitsu is producing are.
Looks like the evo8 is the end of mitsu's genius.

That colt isn't TOO bad, but that other thing is gross. The Concept Eclipse..Ehh I see its pluses and minuses. I wouldn't mind driving it...IF it is AWD+Turbo..I just don't mind it, but eh everyone's entitled to an opinion.

I'm sure it'll grow on people, it seems like most cars nowadays are heading into the "bubble" and "hi-tech looking" phase. Kinda like how cars went from the boxy phase to the rounded phase about 12-15 years ago. For example, if they would have unveiled the 350z ten years ago, people would have thought it looked gross. It's just a natural progression, cars always shift back and forth from sharp edges, to smooth edges, back and forth. Just look at the history of the mustang or the vette.

 

[pushin_gsx]

Yes, I agree with you, stock1g4g63. It will grow on people I bet. The 3g didn't grow on me, but oh well..It musta been those lines on the side..Anyway, we'll just see when the REAL eclipse, not the concept comes out!

A 470hp awd car for under 30 thousand :laugh: , I don't think the final design will be anything close to those specs .

 

[audiousECLIPSE]

Really, what they should've done was made a 2g look and have 1g performance... I dunno, makes sense to me.

 

[EclipseTrbo420A]

I dont really like it all that much. Like most say its way to "moon rider" looking Ill take myGSX anyday.

 

[Chuckt]

you guys honestly brought back a 4 month old dead post for that...

 

[AdrenilineCrash]

I think its just straight fugly!

I like it, looks like it will fit next to the Audi in the movie iRobot and the Lexus in Minority Report.

I would buy it if it goes into production. Looks better than an Evolution - I have a problem calling a 4-door sedan a sportscar.

You mean the 2G body with 195bhp instead of 215? :laugh:

 

[gigahz95]

all these comedians out of work..and you're making jokes

Hah..the engine is just that plastic crap they're putting over engines now...

210*

Sorry to say, but just because I own an Eclipse mean I'm going to like that POS. GOT DAMN that thing is ooogly. & I thought the 3G was bad. Man, Mitsu needs to shoot that designer. Stick with the Evo...but even that car doesn't have hot appeals. 4dr & big ass wing. I admire it for its performance & speed.

 

[gigahz95]

heres a fun fact....3g's outsold their faster, and better looking(even 1g's) predecesors. I can only imagine if this thing is as shitty as it looks it will bring mitsu out of the gutter they seem to be in now.

Why don't they produce something like this? What is their 20-25k sports car going to be now? The lancer ralliart? Give me a break.

 

[DSM_GSX4life]

WELL... its not a DSM thats for sure. I dont like the futureistic cars. Does any one know the engine specs????

 

[HokieDSM]

Sweet jesus, that looks like a Civic crossbred with an EVO. Kind of a Golf Rallye for a new generation...

I love those fender flares.

 

[gigahz95]

you call the evolution genius? Its a riced out lancer w/ a dsm like engine. They should have put it in their 3g eclipse. The impreza* wrx/sti(minus pink logos) is about a thousand times classier looking.
