I like the new look a lot. Just like Edmunds said, the way it should've looked all along...

Eh, I'm not a fan of the full blacked out grill, it looks like it's going to eat something, and not in a good way....

Kind of looks like the 2G eclipse with the new spoiler they added for 2009 imo.

It looks better than they did but I'm still not a huge fan. Now if they made a gsx again, hmm...

Not a supra.

It's more of the Evo X cues w/ 4g eclipse styling.

I just don't like how Mitsu stick to a particular style and try to force the design onto other cars.

All this AWD or TC other than the Evo is getting lame. It won't happen in this current climate since the Evo is the top dog. What are we waiting like the cubbies' mantra "we will win the World Series" . . . this goes to the Red Soxs too, but they broke their 75 year curse. A failure on the prediction until an actual one 20 years later to say "I told so you.". That's equally lame too.

That's hardly a Mitsu thing. Take a look at every Chrysler, GM, and Ford car/truck being built. Every one of them looks the same from the front. Brand recognition has become very important to auto manufacturers. Very few exceptions come to mind, mainly the Mustang and Corvette.

It looks the same other than a few minor changes.
