Just bring the FTO here and forget about the Ecplise.

It looks like a deformed Audi TT from the back.

I have a current model Eclipse (2000) as my "beater". It's a POS. The transmission went out at 30,000 miles. Sunroof stopped working. Hate that damn car. Still have some time to go on the lease though.

 

Well it is a concept and concepts are suppose to be eye catching, and this one definitley is. Not my style on the concept.

But i bet the new eclipse will be eye catching whether or not its gonna be good or bad. At least it won't look like everything else on the streets.

 

I agree 110%. The 1st and 2nd gen Eclipse/DSM cars looked great. The last one is weird and this one is weirder. And they lost their AWD and turbos.

 

i always think that 97 Eclipse GST is the best looking and the best Eclipse ever

 

Only thing I like is the AVS Sport tires. Sad...bring back the GSX!

I like it. Looks futuristic.

 

What's the difference, appearance-wise between the '97GST and the '97GSX? From what I remember, they looked virtually identical on the outside. Both were turbo with a hood bulge.....the only real difference was the FWD on the GST vs. the AWD on the GSX....and even then they both had about the same ride height. The GSX, of course, handled a little better in lousy weather , but its AWD drag and weight gave up some performance to the lighter GST.

 

I actually like it. It's just so weird it's cool. And I LOOOOOOOVE that orange color. That is just awesome!!

 

I've always thought that the GSX performed better out of the two.

Back in college, many of my friends had various Ecplise GS-Ts and it turned out that these cars, even though not slow in definition, always had trouble launching because the front wheels would often lose traction.
