What does everyone think of the new eclipse? I think its ugly. I still love their second gen.

New Eclipse
i dont like it either but i havent seen it in person

Whoa, I was wondering what that new car was outside the Mitsubishi dealership. I actually like it.

YoungSurvival.Org-Celica traded for.. 350z.. traded for Mazda5.. soccer mom!
yea looks really sweet in person

i don't like it. seems like a frankenstein from different cars. >frown.gif>
I think it's cool over all, but that front end reminds me of a cavalier and the back a nissan 350z.

nissan 350z rear end...not too sure, as we wont get it in the Uk, cant say will ever see it...unless they feature it in too fast, too funny 3 >smile.gif>
I like it :-) Its going back to the 2nd gen style a bit more i think

Cruisin down the street in my Infiniti...always lookin for my next trip to Sin City
I think it has 2 gen inspiration, minus the turbo of course. It's pretty nice though, as long as Mitsubishi will hold to the warranty on it.
Reminds me of a Cougar, Accord, and 2G all at the same time. And a bit of Audi TT.

i think it's alrite.. i mean.. not really fond of it but it does have the sporty look.

I don't like it either. The only only color I've seen them in is orange... and I just don't like orange cars. They might be better looking in a diff color, but not by much.
basically, it's the last 2 gens combined. The rear really looks like an audi tt tho.

The GT is 280hp. The GS is 165.

I suppose they have some similar lines in the rear.

LoL leave it Mitsubishi to do somthing like that


The car looks horrible

95 Celica ST95 Supra NA
I like it! though i would never buy one

Its Orville's Celica, i just drive it...
They do look much better in person, and also better in diff. colors (ive also seen bright red and black). I like the 5 spoke wheels on it more as well. The big thing that stuck out to me was there is NO legroom in the back. With the driver seat all the way back i couldent fit my hand between the rear seat cusion and the back of the driver seat at all... its a straight up 3 seat only car if the driver is taller than 5'8"....

IMO, they look ugly.. no no.. they look UGLY!

theres 3 for sale at the mitsu dealership here in my town.. two oranges and a black one. Its deffinently NOT ugly in person. It just needs to be lowered, but then again what unaltered car doesnt look better lowered???

sorry all you celica guys but it doesnt look to bad (IMO), mitsu went all out to try and save their crapy car company from going under with this eclipse. Its nice and its got a hella powerful engine, but i dont think its gonna help much.
I don't think it looks too bad - 'cept I'm rather scared of it's weight and massive power to the front wheels. Torque steer anyone?
