Yep.

Ur right....looks JUST like a Supra.

...for a minute there, I thought Mitsu was going to start making Supras.

*whew*

 

Stuff the old 4G63 and a 20g, then me likey likey.

 

agreed...

 

You forgot AWD as well.


And does it really need 2 exhaust pipes or is it just trying to look like a Neon?

 

Great job Mitsu. Put a big wing on a car that already has suckwad visibility. I'm not going to lie, I do kind of like it. But by no means is it something that I would not even bother comparing to my current car, or any past DSM I owned. After driving my friends 06 Eclipse for a week, commuting 100+ miles a day, some things grew on me , but if you want a car you cant see out of, and are a huge fan of blindspots, this is your car.

 

Looks great, should have looked like that a lot earlier, at least Mitsubishi isn't giving up and is making some good looking product.

 

I don't see any resemblence to a supra.

 

speaking of front ends being the same tons of companies do it... every single BMW has that same fugly grill that looks like nose hair.

and btw, i think the new eclipse looks pretty sexy, the newer ones always looked really girly to me. I could imagine my girl rocking this while I hit up the evo.

 

The thing is that Mitsu's design rarely works out for them. Chrysler started the slight retro w/ the PT cruiser, and the fad carried over. The retro look infected the 'stangs, and it took off, besides there were no other f-body car in the market. Also, the t-bird failed miserably. Nissan's edgy designs are inspired by Renault who gave them the ***** to go forward on their design . . . that's why you see tons of 350z/G35, altima, and Maxima on the road. As for Toyo, they can't do anything wrong. They always hit the public's sweet spot.

Trucks are different when both GM and Ford have dominated overall vehicle sales in the US since the late 70's. GM or Ford can sell trucks from 700 to 1.1 million versus the top selling car that can reach about the 200K mark or so. That's a landslide. Hell, they can design a tank-like vehicle, and it will still sell.

 

The design is a step-up from the old design, at least for me. Now if they can stuff an AWD and possibly a turbo, now that would be something else . Though putting an AWD would be an issue to its already porky weight.

 

heres some good pics. And these kind of give it a GTR feel to it.

 

i kinda like it. would never get it, maybe in white or black/grey would look better, yellow isnt my color. And i HATE altezza's ahha. why do companies do that when alls we do is buy different ones ha. I like the back better though with the wing. id say its a 6outta10

 

oh and wtf is up with the front window, throwing it back to that old subaru car early 90's. ..wtf was that called hah.

 

it is kinda girly....but thats sexist! hah i would never downgrade from my evo, my next ride WILL be the new gt-r. just a few years from now though hah. thats my mommies going out car, then save the range for the soccer mommy hah. but thats ways away. for now, im stickin with the pick up guys car..aka my evo hah

 

No no no, you've got it all wrong. It has 2 exhaust pipes to look like the Evo X, which is trying to look like the '08 STi, which is trying to look like a Neon 2 exhaust pipes FTL. We had 2 on our S2k (to match factory, which is 2), then we found out how much weight it added just having all that extra unecessary crap. The Evo X would beat the IX if it just had a single pipe exhaust with half of the muffler size (seriously... like, the whole back half of the car? for a muffler?).

Its gotta have something to do with emissions control or something, I hope they're not just doing it for looks.
