The Mitsubishi Eclipse






The Mitsubishi Eclipse

The ergonomically contoured cabin is well put together, featuring a twin scooped Alfa Romeo style rpm/velocity dials, and supportive seats that provide exceptional driving position. Get behind the wheel and the car feels different from previous models. The wheel arches have more flair, hinting at the improved, higher performance engine that gives 23 mpg city; 30 mpg highway. This is the premise for the restyled 2007 Mitsubishi Eclipse coupe and Spyder.

Don't just pass through the world, be a part of it. Communicate in your own way. Open up. Facing competition from the Acura RSX, Mazda RX-8, and Toyota Scion, the 2007 Eclipse has been extensively reworked to retain its share of the youth market.

Although the 2007 Eclipse has curb appeal - with shapely wheel wells, a lavishly appointed interior and a torque rich engine (263 horsepower in GT and 162 horsepower in the GS), there are a lot of cars in the $19,669 - $25,389 price point. In 1995, the car was redesigned to compete more aggressively with Honda Civic and the Acura Integra. When the Eclipse first debut in 1990, it became an instant hit in the rave young car buyers' demographic, helping Mitsubishi launch additional models including the mid-sized Gallant and the compact Lancer Evolution. After 16 years of turning drivers into fanatics, things are looking up for the fourth incarnation of the Eclipse, but there is still a lot at stake for Mitsubishi. More scoops than an ice-cream cone distinguish the wider wheelbase 2007 Eclipse coupe and convertible Spyder from other cars on the road.
