The placement of the mirror and the front quarter window are very weird. They somehow remind me of an 80's Ferrari

(I flipped this pic around to give a similar angle)
From what I can gather my guess is the styling will be best described as TT meets Endeavor, judging from the fender curve that's visible under the cladding.
lots and lots of fail

This is gonna be a unique car from the looks of it.

Hmmm... at least they finally ditched the fro-pick bumpers and lower door panels. :chuckles:
When the rest of the camo comes off, I'll weigh in on design.

A 3.8 V-6 is way too big for most "sport compact enthusiasts" tastes. That's a truck engine.
The stance looks like it'll be nice, but the current Eclipse looks nice too.
It looks like it's getting even better and softer. :down:

Now granted I don't know the actual demographics of Eclipse buyers, but judging by the advertising I'd say that Mitsu is targeting the "young and hip" demo that may or may not be conscious of actual performance. They want a car that can provide the sports car image without actually delivering on the sports car goods (which keeps them with a comfy ride and cupholders that will hold a Double Gulp).
