Test drove both the four and six bangers, neither one impressed me all that much, and I pretty much saw it as the sack of overrated hype that most people say it is. The look is meh, power is blah at best, and you get wheelspin off the line not from the power, but the fact that is front wheel drive when you floor it all the wieght goes back off the wheels.
The Japanese sports market is going down the shitter with their lines. The best offerings of Japanese sport cars that we get in the states (I don't give two fucks about what they get in Japan, we don't live there, we don't get them, argument done) are four door grocerry getters. What happened to the Supras and RX-7s and 300ZXs? I mean, I know what happened, horrible marketing happened, but still. The best we can get is a bunch of mid 14 second uninspiring kid cars. I have that R&T or MT issue that talks about all the new Japanese Sports cars, and hopefully we will get some of them.
Anyways, this Friday I'm slated to test a 6.0 GTO, one of the new IS's, a G35 6MT Coupe, an M45 Sport, and possibly a FX45 tonight. I'll tell ya'll what I think, but I doubt that, other than the G35 and GTO, it will be pretty.
Oh, and that Raliart Eclipse is old news. From my understanding, thats all its gonna be: news. Nothing more than a concept to show that Mitsu still has it in them to build a bad ass car...they just wont becuase they cant afford it.
