Looks a lot like a Mercury Cougar to me, at least from that picture.

 

Here are some real pictures.

Looks pretty cool to me, but only in Red

 

Is this going back to turbo I4 / awd by any chance?

 

That is only a concept, not the REAL production car.

 

Yep. Note at the bottom of the page there is a spy shot of a development car in full camo. Quite obviously a little different than the concept car...

 

that would be the only way I would buy one. but then it would be competing with the evo. Now if it was a detuned 4g63 with 220 hp or so, that would be cool and still quite moddable. It would have to be cheaper than the evo then.

 

That concept car was SO fugly....if the new Eclipse is based anything like that design I can see why Mitsu needs DCX to rescue them!

 

 

Can't say I like the car, but I'd love to get ahold of that electric engine! 200HP alone! I can't imagine braking being the only regenerator

 

No thanks. Looks like Mitsu is trying to morph even the Eclipse's front end into the Mitsibishi "family look"

 

I am 80% certain that the electric engine was only in concept form, but neither it nor its derivative is planned for mass market. Neat idea, though.

 

Wow, they really Ugmo'd that one the hell up.

 

As far as I know... this is very similar to the actual car. I believe Mitsubishi had a press release on their website some time ago with pictures of the car.

 

Death to triangle headlights!!!

Now that that's off my chest...I can't wait to see Mitsu take the Eclipse back to it's roots. I always thought that the current generation (more of a 3000gt) was the wrong direction.
