I... fucking... LOVE it...

Re: 2009 Eclipse
 

Looks like yours? What's the diff? Turbo AWD? :D

Re: 2009 Eclipse
 

they added a lightning yellow color to the line up?

Re: 2009 Eclipse
 

Wow, and i thought it couldnt look any more like an Audi TT.

Re: 2009 Eclipse
 

Dual exhaust, 2G style spoiler, black front grill with a newly designed aero look, ralliart style rear bumper, original aero kit side sill, fog light housings on the front end are also evo x-ish.

I think it makes it look less like the audi TT... and more like an eclipse.

Re: 2009 Eclipse
 

The rear end looks better to me, otherwise it looks pretty much the same I guess.

Re: 2009 Eclipse
 

Front lip is a lot like the new lip kit on the 08, if this is a lip kit i'm gonna be pissed, but if it's like a full bumper i'm gonna swap for the new ones for sure.

Re: 2009 Eclipse
 

Since when did an eclipse ever have dual exhaust.... (3gs and 4gs are not eclipses)

Re: 2009 Eclipse
 

If its not a V and true dual exhaust it will fail like SRT Neons.

I like it except the color. That big black grill is a nice spot to hang a license plate.

Re: 2009 Eclipse
 

Since when does it matter? It was done on the RA concept and this is clearly a bit of a reiteration of that.

I agree, if it's the same as a neon dual exhaust it'll be lame, which is likely is.

Re: 2009 Eclipse
 

Is it awd yet?

Re: 2009 Eclipse
 

haha, doubt it.

Re: 2009 Eclipse
 

i agree with tom, looks nice.

Re: 2009 Eclipse
 

:madashell: No awd or turbo = worthless in my book.

Re: 2009 Eclipse
 

I like the way it looks better, but it still needs AWD

Re: 2009 Eclipse
 

It's still the 4th gen, so it probably wouldn't make sense for them to make a huge change like that for the last year for the model... or would it?

I mean I agree, but I don't think it'll happen till the next generation.

Re: 2009 Eclipse
 

Yaay, more weight and more rice. Give it a turbo, awd, faded paint, and swirly rims, and a power hump, and then I may be interested.

Re: 2009 Eclipse
 

is it just me or did the eclipse go down hill after 99?

Re: 2009 Eclipse
 

Popular opinion among DSMers. I love my 4G, but it gets a fair amount of negative attention.

Re: 2009 Eclipse
 

I like the look, but I'll stick with my cheaper, faster, AWD cars. (maybe RWD in the future)

Re: 2009 Eclipse
 

The fact it is called an eclipse makes it hard not to want AWD/Turbo. Would it kill them to at least give it a power hump on the hood? ha

I love the looks of it though. I just noticed the spoiler has a nice brake light on it and the orange signal lights by the dual exhaust looks nice to. The really kept nice flow on this car. It is one of the few cars with a good looking back end too.

I have never driven a 4th Gen yet. How are they?

Re: 2009 Eclipse
 

Mines really stiff, but I have the coilovers. As far as stock though it doesn't shake or anything at high speeds on stock assembly. I think the car rides pretty nice, I love it with the coilovers.

Re: 2009 Eclipse
 

I think the changes to the 09 Eclipse look good. Hopefully the next gen will make it a real contender.

later,
Curt

Re: 2009 Eclipse
 

For some reason, I don't see them making the Eclipse AWD again. Why make something to semi compete with EVO sales?

Re: 2009 Eclipse
 

You are right, that is what the Ralliart Lancer is going to be.

Re: 2009 Eclipse
 

But they are perpetuating the turbo diesel awd rumors...

Re: 2009 Eclipse
 

looks nice. you need the rear bumper

Re: 2009 Eclipse
 

I am thinking RWD plus a chevy 350 swap... it would actually put the duel exhaust to use.:postalot:

Re: 2009 Eclipse
 

Yup, that's the "new eclipse." People want to stick to the name, but the new ralliart lancer is what the eclipse was ten years ago. The new eclipse is....I dunno, a different car.

Re: 2009 Eclipse
 

I digging it, but would like to see Mitsu put a turbo back in the Eclipse's.
