    $25G for Eclipse? Seems awfully high to me, that's how much accord coupe costs, or Mazdaspeed 3, since when Mitsubishi competes with them?

    I agree. The Eclipse has got to expensive and fat. It seems that the designers who are styling this car are wishing for a different drive train layout. It looks like a rear driver.

    Mitsubishi should give this car a diet, a direct injected Turbo 4 and RWD. Then it’ll be a player, and not just a poser

    This has got to be one of the ugliest and most disproportionate cars I've seen in a long time. YUK!
