New Eclipse

Recommended Posts

95-99 were the nicest years for the eclipse. the new ones are just horrid looking

Ugh.....not a big fan of those things. Something about the body shape just doesn't do it for me.

lol. For those of u who think it's ugly, I thought the same thing when I 1st saw it but I guess it just sorta grew on me. I like all of the eclipses, eventually I'll own one of each generation. Most people do like the 2nd gen best, cuz of the bodystyle but also because those were the easiest to mod. I have the 3rd gen (an 03) and I love it, some people think they're ugly though so whatever...

Things that won't make it to production from the concept will be: the glass roof, sideways opening trunk and hood, 20 inch rims, and the sweetest feature on the concept was the hybrid engine which they call E-Boost. In addition to the 3.8L V-6 they had a hybrid engine that kicked in and added another 200hp making over like 400hp!!! They were also going to make it AWD but I'm pretty sure thats not making it to production either :angry: I hope in the upcoming years they make an AWD model but this car will still be sweet regardless.

I seen that in one of my brothers gay magazines like 6 months ago.

magazines like sport compact car and stuff? They arent gay! :angry:

The only thing gay about them is when I get jealous about all the stuff I can't afford :(

As with all concept cars, the production car will get about %60-75 of the concept version. Get ready for a more vanilla production version. You'll be surprised at how the smallest thing will take away a look from a car.

i really liked the 1st and 2nd gen eclipse's, but i just can't stand the 3rd gens at all. the body style is just...blah. plus, i'm still bitter they killed the awd/turbo 4 action. that was the best part about the line. the new concept is interesting. engine wise, the best you'll probably see is a 3'ish liter v6 around 230hp in the new gen. here's some spy shots of the '06 with test car shrouds on. it shares a little bit with the concept car. still iffy on looks and performance for that matter.

I think it was called Super Street? And yes, they are gay.

i think sport compact car is a pretty decent magazine compared to the other stuff that's out there.

if you ignore the rectangle pieces put in to hide the real shape, the rear of the '06 eclipse seems to take a bit from the concept car. it still has the same big bootie action going. although, the way the glass looks, i don't think its going to be a hatch at all. plus the overall size of the car looks bigger. its more like the size of a honda accord than a civic.

they're okay magazines. the only problem is all the ads they have in there. its a big joke. even more ads than heatley had on him.
