IMO that doesn't look like a drawing Mitsubishi would even think about releasing to foretell the future of the Eclipse. Any cac that can draw or is in design school can make that.

That drawing does show lots of cues from the spy pic...but it's way too whacky for production.

Oh, and let's keep it to one thread until we get concrete pics/info

The graffiti background would look more at home in Hyundai marketing materials for the Tiburon.

I really like the look. Now if they take that, toss in the EVO power train, it'll be a very nice car.

Diamond Star Motors no longer exists. The 3rd gen Eclipse was never a DSM product, and the 2nd gens are arguable.

I think the sketch shows that Mitsu is at least in the right direction. Its not as horrid as the concept model was for the current generation. Anyways, looks like the currend model will soldier on for another year for a 6-yr. life cycle.

That sketch could be anything, and it certainly doesn't look much like a production car.

Well, my foot is in my mouth. Apparently the above sketch of the orange wedgy thing was indeed released by Mitsubishi.
