  Mitsubishi Eclipse - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Eclipse was produced for left hand drive markets including the United States, Canada, European Regions, and Taiwanese markets, where it has also been built as the Eagle Talon and the Plymouth Laser through Mitsubishi Motors' close relationship with the Chrysler Corporation (now DaimlerChrysler) Their partnership was known as Diamond Star Motors, or DSM.
Eclipses are popular among racers, and other automotive enthusiasts in part because of the car's low price and wealth of aftermarket parts.

 Test Drive Notes: Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX 1999
Mitsubishi located it right in front of the shifter, so there's no way on earth to change stations when you're in first gear, and it's hard to see the radio most of the time.
In the case of the Eclipse, however, you're going to have to go to the dealer for the part--which means you'll probably be paying off your credit card bill for a couple of months.
To us, the Eclipse looks a little garish, a little overstylized--for example, there's that bulge on the hood that suggests there's too much power to be contained by the engine's metal covering.

 Mitsubishi Eclipse
Mitsubishi had done away with the 3000GT, thus taking away the larger brother of the older Eclipse.
The 3rd generation of the Eclipse was viewed as a bit of a cross of the older Eclipse, and the 3000GT.

 Mitsubishi Eclipse used car review
But perhaps the best known of Mitsubishi's "Canadian-ized" cars is the Eclipse, a sporty little coupe which was sold here between 1991 and 1999 as the Eagle Talon and Plymouth Laser and gained a reputation for the turbocharged engine and all-wheel-drive system found on top-of-the-line models.
Brand new they were significantly cheaper than the Eclipse, which means lower resale values, and while the Tiburon's not available as a droptop and its four-cylinder and optional V6 engines give up a little power to the Mitsubishi motors, they offer similar fuel economy and the two cars even look like they could be related.
Mitsubishi's in a bit of a financial fix right now, so it's hard to say where the company will be in a few years time.

Eclipse GS I am so glad to find out I am the only one w/ this fl paint problem.
My second Eclipse was a 1997 Barcelona Red Pearl (Maroon)and I noticed that the paint chipped quite easily on the hood but I chalked that up to driving in a busy city and the nose of the car was pretty low.

 The Eclipse: Flash and Fury
Little wonder that the Eclipse, which has been completely redesigned for the '06 model year, is the dream car of many college students and twentysomethings, especially now that the Volkswagen Jetta has gotten so pricey (see BW Online, 8/25/05, "Jetta: All the Betta for the Young").
Accommodating the Eclipse's sculpted exterior styling left the passenger compartment pretty cramped, however, even though the '06 Eclipse is longer and wider than the previous version of the car.
Mitsubishi Motors is counting on the Eclipse to help spark the sales comeback the troubled company is hoping for in the U.S. market (see BW, 10/24/05, "Mitsubishi Zips Past The Scrap Heap").

 Road Test Review: 2007 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder GT - Road Tests - Car and Driver April 2006
Mitsubishi speaks of “the attainable exotic” in reference to the company’s new Eclipse Spyder, and although that might sound like marketing hyperbole when the car in question starts at about 26 grand, you need to hear the rest of the justification.
To ensure good sealing, Mitsubishi adopted the short-stroke mechanism we’ve seen on more-expensive cars with sashless windows, where the glass drops down a tad when the door is opened and closed to engage special door seals.
Mitsubishi will offer a lightweight wind deflector sometime soon that pops into place in the rear-passenger well, but we found the car relatively draft-free during our test even without it, particularly when the side windows were up.

The Mitsubishi Eclipse was first manufactured in Illinois by a cooperative Chrysler/Mitsubishi group known as Diamond Star Motors, along with its sister platform vehicles the Eagle Talon and the Plymouth Laser.
