4th gen. Eclipse???

http://autoshow.msn.com/as/autoshow2...w=autoshow2004

the New Eclipse...wut do you guys think...they say its 3.8L V6 engine producing a "good" 270 hp. i think that was lame, 3.8 V6 producing 270 is alot, but its a 3.8 liter engine?!! well...more suggestions from u guys, peace

The back almost looks like a 350z. Car and driver magazine has an article on it and it says something like "why this wont be the next generation eclipse" or something like that. I lost the magazine so i cant quote it exactly. Still nice though

Re: 4th gen. Eclipse???

Could that look any more like a z? and how impracticle is that interior? That car is gonna cost an arm and a leg and do nothing but disappoint eclipse lovers everywhere! Personally, I hate it... no matter what engine is in it. But then again... thats only my opinion

Re: 4th gen. Eclipse???

likes like a 350z on drugs or something...not worthy of being the new eclipse [better then the current third gens though]. these futuristic cars never make it to production most of the time. this eclipse is more suited to be like the 7th gen or something.

Re: 4th gen. Eclipse???

it looks like a 350z fucked a g35, and when the baby popped out, they kicked it in the ass while holding athe tailpipe. then it grew up and jacked some m3 style rims... ever wonder why the mew mazda's look like varsity 2g eclipses? CUZ 2G ECLIPSES ARE SO BAD ASS LOOKING!!!

Re: 4th gen. Eclipse???

"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."

is that saying that the new eclipse will have 470 crank horsepower?

Re: 4th gen. Eclipse???

hhhmmm 2 engines... wonderful! So now twice as much shit can go wrong!! plus it's an electric engine.... and it has 20 inch rims on it. I don't know about anyone else.. but it sounds to me like it's just gonna be another one of those luxury sports cars that have an insane amount of power, and it's never used because only old folks and rich people with no balls will drive them

Re: 4th gen. Eclipse???

I highly doubt A) It will be produced B) If it is, I'll be able to afford one for 10 years C)Routine repairs will cost less than 2 grand a pop, ie worse than a 3000gt VR4

470 horse power, can you imagine the torque steer on that mutha? i'd rather see a more mildly tuned evo engine in there, maybe around 230hp, with awd, and something not so expensive looking

Re: 4th gen. Eclipse???

Yea, They definately aren't being very realistic with this vehicle. But hopefully all it ends up being is a concept. If it's getting this kind of reaction already, mitsubishi would have to be intelligent enough not to put that thing into production

it looks like a 350z ass-holed a audi tt. voila a newer shittier 4G eclipse. i personally feel after they quit producing the 2G, they shoud have discontinued the eclipse. because what the DSM's established as a performance vehicle the 3rd and soon to be 4G are deffinetly ruining. my
