Do any of you guys agree with me on this. I'm not sure if Mitsu is going to actually produce this Eclipse or not but I would take it over an EVO anyday. What do you guys think?

I think your right.

Most of the people who bought the 2g eclipse and all other Dsm's for that matter bought em because we werent blessed with the Evo here. I would never buy any other Mitsu other than an Evo. Everything else depreciates toooooo fast from them. And nothing else offers the driving enjoyment.

Considering that it's a 2005 SEMA show picture.... I guarantee it. If not these specific photos then similar ones.

I also think the Eclipse is nice, but I bought my Evo for the performance and so adults can actually sit in the back seat.

That is a really nice looking car. Mitsu needs to start building vehicles like that if it wants to turn its fortunes around.

I think a lot of you are thinking that this is an EVO from you responses. This is the Eclipse Ralliart. It has the 4G63 engine and the AWD system that the EVO uses but is pushing 400 hp. It's basically a 2 door evo on steroids!

Read again, it's 400hp from a i4... the 4G63.
