love the butt, the front lacks character and the design is very generic. looks like a chick car.

so how does the eclipse compare to the Evo? is it just all show, no go?

They're apples and oranges - people who buy the Evo is different from those who buy the Eclipse. Otherwise, Mitsu wont be producing something that competes with its own product.

But to answer your Q, the Evo wins, although, a lot of people asked why Mitsu used the same interior material with the Evo ($35K) as the regular lancer (<$15K).

If i have to judge the Eclipse with the pictures i saw, the car definitely has good interior design - i hope the quality of materials is at par with the looks.

Unfortunately, I doubt Mitsu would use quality materials for the interior. The cockpit layout of the mitsus are identical to those seen in dodge and plymouth cars. I think ur right about the demographics they are going for.

wth...and i thought they couldn't make the current gen eclipse any uglier. i was wrong.

you guys might disagree with me, but imo mitsubishi has no idea what car buyers want. with some exceptions, most notably the evo and perhaps the pajero (although its sales figures suck in the US), their cars are unexciting...and if they find something promising they completely change it (like the late 90's eclipse and 3000 gt).

it's kinda sad...

parang hindi streamlined ang design; parang di magkasundo ung fenders with the body

i don't think that the 3.8L 263hp MIVEC engine is a no-go. but don't go comparing it to the evo.

based on reviews, it is faster than the previous gen eclipse.
