I hate all these proprietary radios in the dash, no way to replace them.

If it was available with the EVO engine and drivetrain... even a detuned version... I would be highly interested. And if it didn't weigh so much.

ehhhh, shed some pounds and relocate the side mirrors and remove all the chrome accents and it might look ok.

I dunno. I think I'd wait for the RA too. All I can think of when I look at this picture is...

ZOMGZ!



Looks like Pikachu is about to shit himself or something. :eek

The article says it best...

But it's tough to overlook the fundamental flaws of the Eclipse, which include being a heavy front-wheel-drive coupe that shares a lineage with a certain much-missed all-wheel-drive, turbo-four pocket rocket.

I don't like it. Looks like an SRT-4 cross-breaded with a cavalier.

I can appreciate what they want to do looks wise, but how many people are gonna say "hey they copied the GT-R front end"????? Looks better, but there are things about that model that I still have issues with. The 2G was and is the best looking model of the Eclipse/Talon that came out.

is it just me, or does this car looks like it's high on caffeine? Head lights looks like it's bugging out.

Personally some black housings on the headlights and taillights and a mirror relocation would make that one sexxxxxyyyyyy car. Very minor cosmetic flaws. Now as for the engine and drivetrain i wont even get started. They just keep missing the fundamentals!!!!!

I'll pass. I think it looks ugly.

I like it well enough, even the mirrors I can take. The one thing that I cant stand and is reason enough for me not to buy it are the "wing" windows in the front, I need to have a car where the whole window rolls down.
