mitsubishi finally wised up and took their head out their arse. Make it turbo and all wheel drive (like the one from 2 generations ago) and I'd buy one.

The POS they have out now is a snore.

I asked the same question when people worshiped J. Lo. and didn't get a good answer either.

They have the website already up for it.

For Mitsu's sake, I hope it's AWD.

I'm surprised that they can afford to introduce a new car. I don't think mitsu is going to be around for much longer.

Why do you say that? Hasn't it been 4 years with the current eclipse design? I wouldn't think that they are 'stretching' themselves... but then again I'm not up with mitsubishi production and stuff all that much...

Mitsu had a lot of problems when them released the current Eclipse/Galant. They cant afford to make that same mistake again.The butt is a little too 'chunky'. There's nothing wrong with a nice booty (on cars or a lady), but I cant stand excess. The lines flow very nicely, except for the window line. And the angle at the base of the C-pillar is too sharp. It doesnt agree with the rest of the car.

3.8 liter v6 is a pretty fatty engine for an eclispse but the more the merrier

I thought I was the only one who didnt like that. Like Ive said before, Im not a fan of about half the new generation of cars out now. I dont like the rounded hump-back design.

This design looks like it should have been right after the 95-99 model, and the 00-05 model should have been the current one. This 06' model looks similar to the 95-99 generation.

Front = scion, side = tiburon, rear = *** (literally) + 95-99 eclipse

i think that if it is gonna come with that size of an engine and is all wheel drive, we can expect it to be priced right with the g35. i do like turbo and awd but can they really get a car out with that size engine and awd for the price of what they are now? i think not. but i must say that it looks like it will share one thing with our s13's, no back seat. haha

I've known about this for like two years and have seen the concept .. I'm glad that they redid a few things cuz the concept was OK but the lights and cures needed to be redesigned. Looks 10X better than the ones out now.

It seems that they basically mixed the 2nd generation and the 3rd together. gets my thumbs up

NO WAY that looks more like a audi tt if they make a spyder model itll be the same haha. from the side view all new cars are similar, wide fenders and the Z lookthe front looks funky and badly designed kind of like a sentra

It always had, so what new. At least this one looks fast.

Rear end reminds me of an Audi TT. Headlights are boring. Body looks too warped. Interior is a disaster. Kudos to the hp.

Overall, I don't like it. I'd rather have a slower car that looks better. I'd buy a Civic Si before this car.

But it's following modern car trends and it will sell successfully to the masses.

I agree on the headlights, about as attention grabing as a camry. As you said, it will sell well to the masses and while this may not directly be a good thing for car enthusiasts mitsubishi could really use a car that sells well. If mitsubishi starts doing well again then maybe we can expect some more nice cars from them.
