Cool new 07 spyder thoughts

http://www.popularmechanics.com/blog...by+Ben+Stewart

http://www.popularmechanics.com/blog...e/2169917.html

http://www.conceptcarz.com/view/phot...0,0/photo.aspx

It was shown a while ago at car shows but I havn't seen a topic on here yet. What are yourt thoughts on the new spyder?

I've been glancing at the picture for a while. Personally I think the back end of it is way to big without the hatch. I like the 2g's alot. The 3g's were just too elongated. This one just looks like they rounded out the back of the car because they didn't know what to do with it.

Also the small front windows in the conceptcarz.com picture look really really dumb. But thats just my personal opinion. I really do like the front end there though.

Re: new 07 spyder thoughts

I don't care what anybody says, Mitsu is getting some of the ground back they lost with the 3g. I'm liking the new looks of the spyder.

The new spyders look really nice, IMO. I like big butts...and the spyder looks sweet with all that junk in the trunk.

Re: new 07 spyder thoughts

definately looks alot more like 2g specially the front I think. they just need the hump now and maybe a turbo or awd model


As for the back I think it looks great on the hard top's i dunno hasn't grown on me yet for this convertible.

We shall see...

Re: new 07 spyder thoughts

i think mitsu it startin to get back on track with the 4g eclipse in any of the trim models. anything as long as it's not a 3g. the 07 spyder is nice but damn am i liking the new camaro. i find it interesting how everything is turning towards the past again with all the "retro" looking stuff.

edit: retro was a horrible word to use, muscle car era would have been better.

Re: new 07 spyder thoughts

I don't like it. But, they don't have to please me since I don't buy new cars .

From the back it looks like it's trying to be a 350z, but it's not attractive IMO.

Re: new 07 spyder thoughts

I like the new eclipses including the spider, except for the ass end.

I hate the rear of the new eclipses. I love the front end and everything else, just not the rear.

The rear looks like a big blob of jello. I love those wheels though.

Re: new 07 spyder thoughts

I'm not a convertable guy either, but I just wish they would quit calling them eclipses. Its like they were spawned from a sperm bank our cars donated to, it has a relation to us, but we don't want to claim them. IMO they aren't related to our cars at all.
