I couldn't believe it but after seeing the new Hyundai and Mitsu I decided that the Hyundai looks better. I know the Mitsu will beat it in performance but what do you think about the looks??

I really like the way the new Eclipse looks, in person its nice also. But I owned a Tiburon, so I'm partial to them. LOL

Zastava_101 6/11/05 06:06 PM

Without any doubt Tiburon.

To be honest and i am not being partial to mustangs, Tiburons are women cars, i cant see any man drivin a car like that. Not trying to be rude but most will agree. Atleast the old ones were not as cheezy but the new ones are to played out. I liked the older eclipse when they were shorter and smooth and not as aero dinamic as last years model although the new eclipses are prettyyyy nice because they sort of resemble the older ones. My buddy got the GT-S all wheel turbo and thats nice. I believe the tiburon would smoke the doors off of an eclipse if u matched up the v6 vs. v6 and not the turbo, by the way does tiburons come with turbo or just v6 3.8

Tiburon, hands down. I think it would be great to see one in AWD somewhere down the road.

The Tiburon comes in a 4 cyl. model and a V6 the V6 is a 2.7L. They are both N/A, although there are aftermarket kits for both a turbo and a S/C. The new GT Eclipse will smoke a GT Tiburon in stock form.

Mitsubishi sales are down almost 40% this year. Unless miracle happens, Mitsubishi won't even exist in few years.

Mitsubishi is doing the same thing as Chevy......not designing cars people want, obviously not doing focus groups of the designs before they start making the car. I'm sure the ricers would have tweaked the design. I had a 99 Eclipse (last good year) and have watched it just turn to crud.

The v6 gt tiburons are 3.8 almost for certain

NO, they are not. I'm a moderator on www.NewTiburon.com. I got my first Tiburon in November of 2002, the V6 engine is a 2.7L.

Tiburon :nice: . I have no idea what Mitsu was thinking with the new eclipse :shame: just horrible, although they were never especially good looking.

mobster 6/14/05 09:37 PM

Tiburon hands down, in fact I wouldnt be against owning one.

hot darn! the new Tib looks sweet! and if the rumors of a RWD version soon are true, then... :drool:

eclipse? i wish there was an ecslipse between it and my eyes :puke:
mitsu has nothing really to offer anymore :shame:

bob 7/1/05 05:26 PM

Will if it were a life or death situation, I'd go ahead and die for the hyundai. I hate mitsubishi that much.

Lalo 7/1/05 05:30 PM

Hyundai Tiburon!
Can't wait to see Hyundai's RWD car in the next few years.

The eclipse's interior is 'fancy' but doesn't do anything for me. There's no spark, but I do like some of the colors (big deal!)

nynvolt 7/4/05 05:13 AM

I like the eclipse, the previous gens looked goofy with the side mouldings but the ones prior to them looked good. The new design looks great and looks like it will give the likes of RX-8's a run for their money. It's contemporary and clean looking. The tib looks good at certain angles and is the best looking Korean car, dare I say, EVER. But still like even the goofy side moulded mitsu's style over them. I wouldn't mind owning either car if I were in the market but if I had a choice and style was all I wanted, I'd buy an eclipse.
