+1 on that. I currently own an Evo IX, but my previous car was a Gen2 1999 Eclipse GSX. I bought that car as soon as I saw the Mitsubishi press release for the 2000 Eclipse. The Gen 3 looked like a Ford Probe and dropped the AWD.

I don't like them too much either but the 3G was by far the best selling and most profitable Eclipse. I hope they can find a better compromise if there is to be a 5G by giving something for the enthusiasts to desire while still offering a cash cow that's easy to produce. Using a the GS (Lancer/Outlander) platform and 4B11s should be a no brainer and make it cheaper to produce.

I agree wit this some wat the 2g got to rounded off and bubly, very cute and then the 3g killed the car. I always loved the 1g door stopper look alot more aggressive and manly lookin

The 1g can be just as much of a powerhouse. Some day I will pick up a 1g shell for cheap and build it into a beast...

The X feels very heavy - although it certainly handles very well

I would like to think the dealer i work at doesn't suck. we do everything we can to do warranty work (yes, we actually do get paid for warranty work, so why not, if a dealer does not want to warranty a part that should be, its BS because they are turning down free work). now things that are obviously not warrantable (ie clutch on a new car and the kid has a drag racing timeslip taped to his gauge cluster) we dont warranty and those are the people who are usually mad. anything questionable gets called in to the District parts and service manager at mitsu who tells us yes or no.
as far as the eclipse, my fav, like just about anyone into racing at all is the first gen. altho, flame away if you will, i think the 3rd gen is the best looking of the group, if it had only been available with the 6g72 turbo and AWD it would have been a GREAT car.

Resurrect the 4g63? It was just barely discontinued... The 4B11 has already proven to be a great platform to build on. Dunno why anyone would even make that comment.
