damn thats ugly.......it has sub $20,000 styling and should not even be seen next to the 8.

The 8 screams top notch design and sportiness while the Mits looks bloated and belows "being ugly is the only way to get attention"

Thats easy..

9-100 = Every other car ever made...

About the wheel cap. I like how the RALLY INSPIRED Lancer Evolution has less wheel gap than the POS Eclipse.

I read about those new Eclipses and my friend went and test drove one. He said it was strong in a striaght line, but coming from an RSX-S, he said it was a DOG in the turns. He agreed w/ the review I read that it feels like you're driving a 5000lb Bently w/ less HP and a cheap interior. About the interior, he said it was not $30k quality.

If the handling is that heavy, you may as well screw the Eclipse and go buy a Camaro or Firebird. Same heavy handling, but mountains of power and you can get 400hp for about a $1000 investment.

For that matter if handling isn't a selling point for $31K you can pick up a GTO and get a new car with decent build quality, a nice interior, RWD, 400hp with 600+ easy to get with minimal expense, and not a bad handler either.

Heh...the mazda6 would obliterate it. The only failing of the stock mazda6 is its horrid stock tires. There have been recorded members at track events pulling over .95g's on the skidpad, with nothing but some linear springs and some performance rubber (Kuhmo MX's). Not to mention a 6s mtx base, is only 3247 lbs, and under 3200 if you get rid of the massively heavy stock wheels/tires (48-50 lbs a corner stock)

Besides, at the prices the mitsu guys are talking about, you could buy two mazda 6s MTX's, and run figure 8's around the mitsu.

mitsubishi is a stupid company...
they have brought this car into the wrong market. there are SO many other cars in this class that outperform it, and they have the evo in the same price range.
wow no wonder theyre going bankrupt and are doing so horrible in WRC
NEVER buy a mitsubishi
