Ford over the eclipse.
Eclipse over the tib.
Personally im a ford fan so ford all the way. The tibby doesn't have the aftermarket as the eclipse and just doesn't compete performance wise.

I'm going to say the Eclipse is the better deal as an import car because the Focus is not an import. But just comparing the 2 cars, i like the aftermarket support the eclipse has, and IMO, the looks of the focus are just tacky, the focus is a very fun car to drive though, the suspension beats the hell out of the eclipse, however, in straight line performance, the V6 in the eclipse beats the focus.
Winner = Eclipse
BUT, im going to say the tiburon beats the Eclipse.
The interior and ride quality of the tiburon rapes the eclipse. the eclipse is boring inside, and you can hear shakes and rattles all over. the 2.7 in the hyundai with a supercharger is capable of pushing 400HP, on stock internals [Supercharged], while the eclipse engine can barely handle the same power the Tibbys can. I'm also going to give Hyundai the reliability edge, Mitsubishi isnt exactly known for its top notch reliability, but at least Hyundais has been getting better.
Winner = Tiburon

I'd go with the Focus SVT. The Eclipse and Tiburon are both cheaply made, and the handling suffers due to being nose-heavy from having those V6's in there. I don't really care how much power they can make, since handling is my main priority. If you care about straight-line performance mostly, then go with one of the other two.

well, the eclipse isn't an import either, its made in Illinois and is only sold in North America

SVT will edge a Tiburon in the straight line and spank both badly on the track. Plus you can get one (if you can still find them) for 16k. Just check and see what Road and Track thinks about SVT foci...http://www.roadandtrack.com/article.asp?section_id=31&article_id=235&page_number=5
