2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse - Page 2

This is the first interesting looking Mitsu in a while, too bad it could be a dying gasp for the company.

The back of the car is a little funny looking, not from the back, but on the side near the back... rear fender is a little odd. Probbably would take some getting used to.

I am pretty interested in taking one of these things for a spin. A 3.8L DOHC V6 with a 5-speed sounds interesting to me.

Defintely have to get used to this design.

Perhaps it looks better in person.

Ok fine I agree it's pretty ugly.

I still want to drive it... for fun.

Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against Mitshubishi and would love for them to continue selling their cars here, but this is a let down. Maybe seeing it in person would sway me.

bigbenSC · 01-10-2005, 08:22 PM

I don't like the new front end look of Mitsubishi, kind of odd looking on every one of their cars. This would be a nice car if it is going to be affordable. Judging by the last time I looked at an Eclipse I would say that the V6 with a stick and leather will probably be around 27 grand.

holy sh1t...a japanese company caved into american design...WHEEL GAP GALORE!!!

EDIT: The cars official webiste has better pics and it is lowered in those galleries. looks much better.

theyre desperate.

Most of mitsus divisions are suffering....bad....the cars are whats keeping them alive

Vintalage · 01-11-2005, 11:04 AM

Damn, they keep changing the pics. My posts above are obsolete.

ftruth · 01-11-2005, 11:07 AM

Anyone have any guesses about 0-60 time? It'll have a 260HP engine with a 6-speed and weight should be around 3100-3400lbs. I calculated a guess based on a time of 7.2sec for the current model and multiplying like this:

7.2sec * (HP-to-weight-old)/(HP-to-weight-new)

I got 5.7 sec. Sounds too good to be true, although still not in Evo territory.

On second thought, the addition of a 6-speed will probably bring this figure down even more. Don't know how much, but judging from specs I've seen for the Accord V-6 Coupe, it could be a lot.

Vintalage · 01-11-2005, 11:34 AM

With these new pics, it has grown on me. A whole lot better than the previous gen. Very good Mitsu

Sleepwalkr · 01-11-2005, 07:04 PM

I like it......... but.............
Cobalt headlights anyone?

bigbenSC · 01-11-2005, 07:54 PM

That rear window wiper looks out of place.

GrahamKracka · 01-11-2005, 08:03 PM

the new front end is better...but still ugly...but it may grow on me

Hodge · 01-11-2005, 08:19 PM

need to be ALOT lower and it will look decent. (used to my friends eclipse... over a 2 inch drop)

hotgt · 01-11-2005, 09:49 PM

holy ish....i think it's hot!!

i like the color, it stays true to the concept version...the rear tails are pretty sweet

the headlights?? well....they look better on this car than they do on the Cobalt...

edit---wait wait wait....3.8L v6?? what engine size did it have before?? i bet the 4cyl version of this car is gunna be a dog...
