I saw it in person at the Detroit Autoshow, and I like it. It brings back the earlier generation with the roundness to the body.

I can see a lot of potential with that car. It's got a powerful punch under the hood. It comes with a 3.8L and 260hp stock. That's pretty impressive for such a small car. It's a little on the heavy side, but still nice.

The body leaves for alot of improvement. I am sure there will be a couple of dynamite body kits available for this car. Of course, there will also be hundreds of 'What-were-they-thinking' body kits too.

Should be interesting how this car develops

i kinda like the new eclipse. like eric said it goes back to the earliers styling of a nice round look. one thing i dont like is the front lights tho. they go too far up into the fender. that and the color sucks. but all in all its a lot of power for the money.
