Hmmm... I'd have to see it in person. Kudos though for the designers who've come up with a car that looks unique. That seems rare nowadays.

"Unique" is not all it's cracked up to be.

"Unique"





The Eclipse looks like it belongs in the company of these two examples of designers trying to be "unique" but missing the boat all together.

I like it...

It looks like it might be a little hard to put a ricer wing on there.

Looks like an insect. Is this the next evolution of the jelly-bean design?

Supersize it and hold the pickle on that Happy Meal.

Mitsubishi needs to bring back the 3000GT, but not price it out of its market.

I'm surprised it actually looks that close to the concept.

Crazy how cab-forward that thing is. The side windows are strange. I bet the wheels are at least 17's, but they still look dinky on that mule.

Mitsubishi's automotive division is in serious trouble, what the heck are they thinking?
