Too bad I didn't get in on this earlier...

I like it 10 times more than a 3g, but the front still looks like one. They are taking it in the right direction: away from 3g.

Just because the slant of the roof is similar to a 350Z doesn't make it look like one at all. It looks no more like a 350Z than an TT or RSX does.

Torque steer? Read the article, there is 270hp up front, not 470.

I don't like it overall, but i would take that over a 3g every day of the week.

Oh, and ITS A CONCEPT, THE 4G ECLIPSE WILL NOT LOOK LIKE THIS i thought all of you knew that concepts are not production vehicles. Don't think for a minute the 4g eclipse will have 20 inch rims.

uh . . . yeah i read the article
Look here:
The eye-catching concept is all-wheel drive, with one engine—a 270-horspower 3.8-liter V6—powering the front wheels and a 150-kilowatt, E-Boost electric motor powering the rear wheels and adding 200 more horsepower for a total of 470

yea i am sure about everbody here know that the chance of a concept vehicle making it to production( even remotely close to what the original concept was) is slim to none. but regardless they introduce concepts to get people talking about future models of the car. and i would'nt put it past them to throw 20" rims on a 4G. look what they did to the eclipse with the 3G.

I saw the car in person today at the detroit auto show and i wanted to piss on the dam car. The car should be blown up into pieces. The "plasma" taillights or whatever they are, are just plain gay. The glass roof should have a rock dropped on it.

And i heard that they are going to drop the whole hybrid shit, and make it only gas powered, it will have 270 hp and a $23,000 base price.

not so bad....

i agree with most of ya'll, the third gen is hella ugly and i'd take this 4g any time over it.
the 2nd gen IS badass and this one is only front wheel drive, or its a awd hybrid crap like that. but i think it looks sexy, however expensively sexy. the cost alone cancels out the sexy but it is fun to look at. it looks like they're trying to bring hints of the second gen back with the whole b-pillar thing, but yeah. i wouldn't mind driving it around. the interior looks kinda...out there but yeah, beats my car.
just my 2 cents.

hey anyone have a link to a pic of the 4th gen eclipse. lemme kno

in my opinion they did the best with the second gen body style and the shold bring it back with some new engineering to it. maybe with a tuned down awd evo engine but thas my opinion

i agree with a few peepz in this room it a damn concept car and prolly will never make it into production.....ie..remember the chevy borrego rally truck that would convert to 4 seater....same deal it'll prolly never happen
