born2xLr8 will become famous soon enough
The shots and vid of it from this site (http://autoshow.edmunds.nytimes.com...how..leftnav.29) make it look pretty good...I'm especially liking the specs.
"Underneath this running prototype is a 3.8-liter V6 fortified with an E-Boost electric drive system that provides considerable on-demand torque. Together the two systems produce over 470 horsepower..."

Its just getting heavier, uglier, and slower. To ruin something that used to be nice. (well, the motor could
ve used some work from the start)

I think it looks kinda cool, except from the back.

I also like this (as born2xLr8 posted)
Underneath this running prototype is a 3.8-liter V6 fortified with an E-Boost electric drive system that provides considerable on-demand torque. Together the two systems produce over 470 horsepower, enough juice to make this the fastest coupe ever to wear the Eclipse nameplate.

I would take a 1st or 2nd gen over any Civic!!!! My bro has had both, drove them off the showroom floor, he has raced the hell out of them!! And they are still going!!! If you take care of the damn car then it lasts!! The only thing that has ever gone wrong was, on the 1st gen AWD you had to be carefull on the launch, if you launched to hard then there goes the rear diff!!! Other than replacing the clutch once on both of them, there hasnt been one thing wrong!!! Its funny because everybody that turbos their civic, are still slower than a stock 1st gen Eclipse!!! And whats even more hilarious is that for the price of buying the turbo and installing it, You can buy a 1st gen AWD Honda eatin, VTEC $hitin beast!!!!! Just my 2 cents!!! And in my opion the last Eclipse was the 2nd gen!!! They need to call the 3rd gen and up something else!! Because it is a waste of a car!!!!! And as far as the motor in the 1st and 2nd gens, you can see it brand new in any Evo 8!!! The Evo just has a bigger turbo!!!
