10380, Eclipse's look how good? Posted by mjbd, Dec-07-01 01:42 PM
I know just about everyone here thinks Eclipse are some of the best looking cars around, but think about it for a minute, is there a car that looks that good in the same price range? I think not. Yea, the 3000GT, RX-7, Vipers, and some others may have a cooler look to them,a nd thats even debatable, its hard to see why Mitsu ever changed the design to the new edgy look, the curves are what gives it its stylish looks. Just feel good that your car is generaly unrivaled when crusing the road. Curves are sexy!

sure many cars look better, but did you have one as your first car? thought not. Could you afford one with a job in high school? thought not. Did you pick it up for 4 figures? thought not.
Eclipses are great!

The car cost new under $20K but has the looks of a $40K car, with $40K car aerodynamics as well. I still get tons of compliments about mine (it also helps when you take good care of it)
Gotta love the 2G DSM...

the 2g's were the pinnacle of coolness. The 1 and 3g's however...
On a different note, is there any mention of 4g's yet?

It's a general trend in styling these days to make things edgier and more retro. Give me a sleek smooth curvy sports car any day of the week and twice on sunday.

I am tied of celicas now as well as civics almost. Around here, for every civic, there is probably a celica. That many of them. My friend won 1st place at 2 car shows with a stock one. WTF? He got 1st over some supras and shit in toyota class. Stock with that TRD action package kit. They don't look good to me. The back end has that edge and looks like someone tried to fold the shit over. The headlights are pretty gay too. They have these lil round projectors inside an un neccesarilly huge triangle.
