4G Eclipse under-appreciated!

As the proud owner of the 2G Eclipse, I was a little disappointed with Mitsubishi's offerings over the last 5 years. That all changed when the 2006 Eclipse hit the streets. Disregard the amazingly powerful engine(MIVEC makes most domestics weep with envy), the wider and more aggressive stance, and the super smooth 6-speed transmission...ignore the obvious. You've seen the commercials. Look instead at the flowing body lines...the perfect marriage of beauty and brawn. Look at the highly appealing interior, never has ice blue looked so hot. Just take a spin in one, and you will see how far this iconic vehicle has come.

Is it pricey? Depends on who you ask, but for my money, the Eclipse is worth every single dime. It will spank most other cars in its price range, and do it with style that today's cars seem to lack. In a time where station wagons have Hemi's and sports cars get 80 miles to the gallon, the 2006 Eclipse carves its own path. With an aftermarket that's opening up more everyday, and a loyal following of owners and enthusiasts supporting this car, it's only a matter of time before everyone finally understands what 4G owners already know: Mitsubishi has outdone itself once again...the spirit and tradition of the Eclipse is alive and kicking!
