Eclipse RA

Hi, I'm really liking eclipse RA mitsu has revealed. What do you guys think about it?
Style, engine etc. And will mitsu really produce that car?
Concept RA as it says on their website.

No fast and the furious killed the eclipse and almost took the evo 7 with it.

But what's so bad about it?
AWD, 2.2l diesel engine. 201hp and Max torque of 310 ft. lbs. Light weight coupe. SST transmission. Amazing looking! Only negative part is the CONCEPT is Lambo Doors.

ITs a concept, so things like lambo doors and high tech diesel engines probably won't make it into production - nor will the swoopy body work. Although its basic lines probably will. The last two Eclipse show cars resemble the real product though, the 4G more so then the 3G, but still...

You're right, but I don't think big things like diesel engine would be changed, more like small stuff. Like head and tail lights, rims and interior. Like they did with Prototype X.

none of the features that make the thing worth buying will make it into production. the bean coutners and safety people will **** it up long before it ever gets made.

As long as they bring back AWD, 2.0l turbo charged engine. You'll make me happy.

Mitsubishi needs proper coupe this maybe the right step... Things I would change are the engine to a V6TT (...or a 4G63T to make the fan boys stfhu) and make it RWD so it can mash on the 370z, i hope they have a manual option if they make this car also but all in all the car looks Stunning.
