looks like the outlander sport with a really ugly rear end... But i'm interested in the Engine and trans... Could be good for a swap if they are cheap enough. More bang for the buck type deal.

Noooo kidding. That rear end is a hybrid of the Aztek and the new Prius:

The beauty is in the eye of the beholder. You decide whether you like it or not.

Oh dear lord.!
What's with the piano black AND simulated carbon fiber interior pieces together? They can't make up their minds? Plus, those E.T. headrests on the backseats...

And, Just when you thought you got that disgusting image of the Aztek out of your mind since the death of brand, here it pops back up again!!!
Guess mitsu hired a bunch of the pontiac designers on the cheap, aye?

50 Shades of Eclipse-(Cross breed)

Alrighty..
Instead of me yapping about how Ugly Mitsu designer(s) made their Eclipse CUV's rearend, here's my take on the matter >

rearview:




sideview:






a little better looking...

yesss....

But, if mitsu had to chopshop-merge another brand's rearend designs, at least find one that's not inciting disgust!
or don't mess with it at all, nobody was complaining about their O.S. or Outlander rear-hatch design language (that much)..

************************

And, I understand if they needed/wanted to tweak it a little, but to make it look that Bad just so they can say that it's new, doesn't make sense.

Here's an alternate choice for Mitsu designers to copy from..

Behold the Lamborghini HSUV (HyperSport UV)
