The Mitsubishi Eclipse is a sporty two door, four-seat coupe with nice exterior styling and a functional interior. It appeals to a large audience with its youthful looks and affordable price.
The Eclipse is offered in four trim levels: GS, GS-Sport, SE, and GT. Power is delivered by a 162-hp 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine paired with either a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission with Sportronic shift control. A 265-hp 3.8-liter V6 engine powers the GT and comes with a five-speed automatic transmission featuring Sportronic shift control. Standard safety features include vehicle stability control with traction control, frontal-impact, side-impact and side curtain airbags, anti-lock brakes, and a tire pressure monitoring system.
For 2012, the Mitsubishi Eclipse receives a new SE trim. It features dark argent 18" wheels, black exterior door mirrors, and dark lower side "SE" graphic. Also new to all trims is the addition of brake override logic, a clear lip spoiler on the GT trim, and one new exterior color.

With nearly one million units sold since its introduction way back in 1989, Mitsubishi claims the Eclipse to be the most successful Japanese sportscar in the U.S. market. And though that segment may have peaked, with rivals (like Subaru and Toyota) planning new entries, Mitsubishi could potentially re-enter the two-door market in the near future if the business case can be made.
The Galant – while a more practical, staple model – may prove a harder sell, as midsize sedans remain popular for the most part only in North America. Until then – with the Eclipse, Galant and Endeavor on their way out – Mitsubishi dealers will have to get by on the Lancer and Outlander (and incoming i-MiEV) alone....READ MORE
