Yep, Eclipse 2011 was drastically changed (looks wise)... It's got a black roof w-sunroof on all models, lower ride, dual-exhaust (better note even from the I4) all leather interior, bluetooth, rockford fosgate, full HID-Projector headlights, black out "evo-like" nose (now Mitsu's trademark front grille), sport 18x8 wheels (the ones that the 07 Galant Ralliart would come with)
It looks way better (despite being the same freaking car), and the GS (4cyl) now comes with dual exahust... I just got my wife one about 2 weeks ago, they're just getting to the showrooms.
The thruth is, Mitsubishi keeps updating the Eclipse 4G little by little but this car has 6 years already, and it's time for a new model. The Concept RA should've been out by next year, but I guess the years 2008/2009 had other things in mind for Mitsu...
Here's a pic of the current Eclipse, the wifey's ride:
If it had a turbo and AWD/RWD mitsu would be selling more of these... and they'd have more money to invest in a new eclipse/galant model as well...

ive been a mitsu fan since they came over here with the 3kgt. my dad has worked at the dealership since i was 4, and they got mitsu when i was 7 or 8. always loved their cars. but, IMO, the lancer platform cars are the only thing they really have going for them. The galants are nice, but overpriced when you compare with competitve models. the endeavor is hideous, and the eclipse, well, i dont see how it is supposed to compete with the nissan 350 and the gen2 coupe from hundai? something needs to happen to bring the eclipse back to its roots. i would love to see the montero come back and get rid of the endeavor as well, but thats just me

I would say the Outlander is highly underrated. Hasn't it been ranked pretty high in recent reliability ratings? But, as this thread illustrates, hardly anyone knows about its existence...

I think the new evo should come with ~350hp, then bump up the eclipse with a more powerful v6 and I4 producing 310hp and 280hp respectively..not sure where the ralliart would go...hmmm..but def bump up the lancer to 190hp area...
This way the evo would really kick a$$ when it comes to the sti, while the eclipse can eat a 350z and well, the lonely lancer can uhm....?

For the price that I paid for the Evo X, I can't honestly say that I would recommend it to anyone else. My immediate plan is to sell it after it's paid off.
