Even though I havent really warmed up to the nose, it still looks pretty damn slick!!!

The rear looks like it came off an Audi. The GT sports a 3.8L Mivec V6 good for 263 horses....


another car I cant have hehehe.

Sorry dudes, paki google na lang yung pics.

The reviews have been pretty good. However, I doubt if it will become the cult classic that the early turbo, all-wheel-drive Eclipses have become.

The 4G is 300-400lbs heavier than my 3G with only a 50hp bump But I gotta admit that the car is pretty ***Y!

I saw a couple from my local dealer about 3 weeks ago and i was more impressed on paper than in person. BTW, the 2006 is 4TH GENERATION....not 2nd generation Eclipse...and like what i said, i wasn't that impressed when i saw one....it looks like the 2nd generation eclipse with a smooth body kit....and the "new" Mits nose just SUCK big time......i have a feeling, the nose designer is crossed-eyed....otherwise, spec looks pretty good ON PAPER....

The first Eclipse that was released in Pinas was the USDM 2nd gen eclipse, 1995-1999 ba yon Marc? I dont believe na inilabas ang USDM 2001-2005 Eclipse sa Pinas. So, kung lalabas ang 2006 Eclipse sa Pinas, it would be considered 2nd Gen Eclipse by the locals.

Geographically speaking, tama si PK

Kaya siguro walang GSX dahil they have an EVO for that...haha.

if only they slap a td-05 onto that 3.8 mivec... :lol:

[airshaq20]

But we here in the US still call the Evo 9 - as Evo 9 (or at least that's what Mits wants to call it) eventhough we never had the first 7 Evos here ...and technically, 4th Gen Eclipse is not yet for sale in the Philippines, so locals cant officially call it 2nd Gen - so, it would still be more appropriate to call it 4th gen, but, whatever :D

That wont happen because if they do that, it will be selling for as a different class. The market for Eclipse are aged 18 to 25 (majority) and bumping more HP there would mean, a more expensive car and expensive insurance rates. Besides, Mits needs a cheap coupe to sell.

[nugundam93]

oh well. there's always the aftermarket. :D

Tama ka na naman airshaq20

but nowhere in this thread that the word "OFFICIALLY" was ever used. Kaya nga sabi ko LOCALS considered it as 2nd gen. PajeroKid is a local, hence he calls it Gen 2.

Not gonna argue with this simple issue here. You can call it whatever you want. Big deal.

[pajerokid]

airshaq, i never called the 2006 a Gen2.

Do you know how to read?

All I said was that the 4G's windows are akin to the 2G's.

here, let me quote myself so you dont have to scroll back up....

oo nga naman...

Yup, I know what you mean pajerokid. I can also see some remnant characteristics from the gen 2 on the gen 4 eclipse. But I definitely love the curves of this new beast more. The generation 3 looked more girlish in a way, no offense to gen 3 owners, Im just glad they did a major revision on the design. It looks more aggressive now.

[BlueBimmer]

chill!!

OT: Hey voltes......what do u drive there in Canada? When did u move (back) there?

Paj Kid: Sorry...i misread ur 2nd post.

BBimmer: Im chill man. Thanks.

Charmander: If you have personal issues with me, pm me.

My family and I have been here(canada) for 2 years now. We just went home for a vacation last year for about a month. Then when we came back here, I traded my '03 civic with a '04 CRV. Its no audi TT but it gets me here and there and through the snow with its RT4WD.

Going back to the topic. The pictures really dont do any justice. You guys should see the commercial they have here for the eclipse. It looks very nice.
