I really hate when car makers take an older make and completely ruin it's style. If they made a remake of the gen 2 (hell, even a gen 1) eclipse that didn't have trash specs, I'd buy one. I love those cars. Pretending a Nissan leaf is the worthy of the eclipse name is just sad.
Had an 06 Eclipse GT, loved that thing, absolutely hated when I saw they went the Ford route and pulled what they did to Mustang to the Eclipse. Like, I get it, market trends say everyone wants a SUV but like..cmon, people still want affordable sports cars as well.
Right, and I get them wanting to make an SUV. Just name it something else. It's a different vehicle after all.
THIS. Like seriously! Name it something else! It's an entirely different car!
I still have a 2007 Eclipse convertable and this article just hurts my soul. For ½ second I thought "maybe this is what I'll get to replace it!" and then I clicked the link and saw the pics. Ugh!!
