They can't even keep the v6's in stock at my mitsu dealer.. they sell within 2 days of arrival, yet, I see nobody driving them. They must live all over the place or something.

But yea, they got an awesome metallic blue colored v6 in the other day. It looked amazing. Then it was sold the next day when I went back to pick up some parts I ordered.

I see more Evo's than I do new Eclipses around here. I've only seen three eclipses on the road.

If dealers in your area can't keep them in stock tell them to call Keffer Mitsubishi in Huntersville, NC because last I saw they had around 10 of them sitting on the lot. I don't know how many were GT's out of that ten though.

I honestly can't blame the buyers for not jumping on this car, I think it's just an ok car. The power is good, but weight is not good, styling isn't that great either, the handling sucks, and the brakes are below par. If I honestly had to choose between an RSX Type S, Chevrolet Cobalt SS, and a 4G Eclipse GT, I'd take the RSX, followed by the Cobalt SS, and then the Eclipse. To the people who say, well the car is faster than the RSX Type S and Cobalt SS, I say SO!!! There is more to a car than just straightline speed, let's not start sounding like muscle car owners now. The worst thing about the 4G Eclipse GT is the price. Maybe what I saw at the dealership, were optioned out models, but price tags of $26,000+ is a little too much to ask for an Eclipse. I'm really liking the direction Mitsubishi is now heading, and I hope the slow sells of the 4G Eclipse don't hurt Mitsubishi too much, but I think it's time for a 5G Eclipse.

This thread is probably dead but as a 4G owner I came here because many ralliart and VIII and IX parts are swappable. But I have to chime in here The 4G for starters has the best braking capabilities in its class stock nevermind after doing the brembo swap. And it also despite that fact that is FWD has great handling espically with the tanabe strut tower brace. It will pwnt almost any curve. I also have kill list that includes Cobalts, SI's, and TC's so maybe your right and they didn't want the car to compete with them. They just plain outperformed them. There is even a GT guy that has raced an EVO X just barely lost from digg the first run and the second from a roll smoked him by a whole car. Not offend or flame anyone just wanted to defend the car So please no one take offense to this post just a lil information.
