3rd Gen Eclipse a Chick Car?

Thank God the 3rd generation Eclipse is going away because it was straight up a chick car, literally . Sorry if I offended any females, but I found this article interesting-

There are a ton of chix by me that drive 3rd gen eclipses.. but I liked the v6 convertible. It was just a little out of my price range. I didn't like the style of it a whole lot, but I had a 2nd gen, and it was one of the coolest designed cars IMO. Good thing they are bringing back the style of the 2nd gen in the new 4th gen. I love the design of the new 4th gen. It would look very nice lowered with a lip kit, or body kit.

alot of people think the eclipse is a chick car, and i'm like "no way, 1g and 2g are straight up beasts, they just chopped off the **** on 3g and now all the dames like it"

2g can be super hot, thats why i'm glad they brought it back with 4g

Until they offer them all whell drive and throw a 4G63 turbo under the hood again, and trim the curb weight a bit, it's never going to be anything more than a 3G with a facelift.

Comepared to the 2g eclipses and the new 06's(4g) I think the 3gs with out a doubt look more girl directed. They never really did anything with them. No turbo, no massive HP gains and stuff. Even the body style stunk. Don't get me wrong they can still be made to look nice, but so can a Civic.LOL. Anyway I love that Mitsu went back to a 2g modified style body. Just my 2 cents.

3rd Gens.......

It's a Dodge Stratus with a body kit.

There's no turbo.

There's no center differential.

There's no reason for them.
