just like it says, I followed a new SOM(?) eclipse this morning and tried to get him to get on it, but he wouldn't bite. I'll admit the Mitsu took a step in the right direction w/ 260hp, but the styling is like a 99+ Cougar had secks with a SRT-4.

no sir, I don't like it.

yeah, I don't like the way they look either. I saw a truckload of them going down 206 the other day and I wished for it to crash and wreck all the cars on the carrier :lol:

They look like Audi TT's mixed with a 2004 2dr accord :roll:
I personally liked the first generation eclipse/talon better out of all of them.

it's better looking than the tC....the stance is much more aggressive.

It reminds me more of a Tiburon than a tC

yes. 230 HP V6 in the GTS.

the concept version of this car had a 250 HP gas engine powering the front wheels, and a 200 HP electric motor driving the rear wheels.

That would have been awesome. Although I'd be plenty happy with a 200hp rear motor and a 150hp front. It's an awesome concept because having an electric motor you can incorp regenerative braking (store energy that would normally be lost as heat through the brakes).

It definatly borders the ugly and fugly line with that nose. The side mirrors aren't terrible but what's with bringing back those corner vents... or aren't they vents? That's why the had to push the mirrors so far back. Is there a rear seat or have they just gone to a 2 seater?

a turbo on it would probably make it move quite nice. whats the displacement?
