Rep Power: 338 i'm not a big fan of Mitsu's so called "Project America". But ppl in America tend to like the large cars and large engines. The 2 cars that come to mind quickly that were based on larger cars and were somewhat succesful were the Prelude (dead), and 2nd gen MR2 (also dead).

IMO... it all went downhill after the 2000+ Eclipses. The '95-'99's were the best ever, styling, ENGINE CHOICES, etc. My last car was a 98 GS-T with turbo kit and all the usual goodies.. miss that car so much. I would like to see Mitsu bring back the good ole turboed 4 bangers.

Rep Power: 0 ^^^^Ha ha yea. Man the 92 talon is pretty sick IMO. I think the new clipse has potential but I still think we look better. The new gauges look pretty nice. If I am buying Mitsu its for sure a n EVO, not a clipse.

Rep Power: 336 yeah but thats of a bigger 3.8 engine. how high of a redline do you think it has? i know gm 3.8 has 5200 limit. itll get crappy gas mileage too. i'll test drive it maybe. itll be expensive as all hell though. i haven't decided if its worth it yet.

Rep Power: 360 2ng gen is by far the best but this is a HUGE improvement over the 100% disappointing 3rd gen eclipse.
