FYI: I work at a dealership that sells Honda, Nissan, Toyota, Mitsubishi, GM, Chrysler, and Ford. I work in the Nissan parts department.

Just figured I'd take some pics before some young stupid person buys it and ruins it.


I'm not sure what the deal with the light blue lense is, but the effect looks kind of neat.

i don't care for the new design too much. I'd stick with the 1st or 2nd gen eclipse.

I'm actually loving the design, what I don't like is the powertrain. They had the chance to move it above the EVO or at the same level, yet they chose to pack the Galant Engine in there and FWD once again.

The reflectors on the headlamps and tails don't go well with the design, but everything else looks good.

It's like the love child of a 350z and a Audi TT or something.

Will you test drive it and tell us how it drives? Its ugliness will likely be cured by aftermarket kits.

I can try to, for some reason the salesmen are all drooling over it and taking turns driving it. I almost didn't get a chance to take pictures.

2nd gen is the only generation of Eclipse that I like. I just figured I'd post pictures for anyone wanting to see what the production version looked like.

I just found out that we also have a silver GT trim level Eclipse rolling around somewhere on the lot. According to the salesman I talked to, sticker on the GT is around $28,000....the 4-cyl. version(in the picture) has a sticker of ~$22,000. I think that for those prices, I'd rather have an '05 Mustang GT, or a 3.5litre Nissan Altima.
