Looks great. It may make it to market almost unchanged - Mitsu definately has some wild looking production vehicles. I could see the headlights being bigger, though. And what's with the hood scoop? Not that I don't like it, but I'm not sure of it's function.

It's kind of funny, at first I was against the Eclipse as a FWD big V6 tourer, having had a turbo AWD Talon in the past, but now I accept the role of the Eclipse as the new 3000GT.

One thing I would absolutely love to see is a slightly toned down 'Evo' to act like the normal Subaru WRX competitor - AWD, turbo'd to about 220 -230hp, smaller tires and wing than the Evo proper, and less expensive. That'd be sweet.
