Yeah but then the eclipse would be selling better to those who switched over from evo's, so wouldn't it just even out?

[rs97eclipse1695]

true...but the eclipse is still going to sell...just because its an eclipse...awd or not...the evo on the other hand is for a small crowd...i mean think about it...whats the steriotipical evo driver?...there arent a lot of people out there that fit the build of an evo owner...i mean if you have that much money to go out and buy an evowhy not drive beemers and upscale cars to show off your money...not that i would ever drive a bmw but thats besides the point...i dont know...just my 2 cent...i just think there isnt a large enough crowd of evo buyers for mitsu to kill the sales of it with a cheaper faster sports car

also...i am going back to test drive the 6 speed as soon as the local mitsu has one in...if anyone beats me to it please share your oppinions

I test drove the gt and I give it a :bigthimb:

It would be cooler if it was 265hp turbo'd

dont think youll be rollin in the dough, youll probly be stuck on some ship most of the time anyways and wont even get to see your car. just remember even navy recruiters lie a little bit...and if u dont believe me wait tell your on the other side

I have actually driven the 6 speed. It definetly by far is the best and fastest eclipse I have ever been in. The pickup on it was unbelievable. I personally though would not by one. It is not that I didn't like the car but they wanted 32,000 thousand for it, and they only want 34,500 for an Evo VIII. Personally i think that it would be worth the difference to fork out the extra 2.5K and get the evo.

yeah $32,000 fully loaded with every option and thats before you talk them down to about $28,000. For the GT manual trans. without all the options is like $25,000.

Just got from the dealer and some one up close but ya kinda dissappointed though. The tag on the one I saw was for 23995 suped-up and 21995 regular. With that much money you could just buy a used evo
