too bad chrysler wont bail out Mitsubishi. then we may get back into a REAL eclipse. i saw one last week in the dark and i couldnt tell if it was a Cougar or not.

i think they tried to bring us the FTO in a fresh "clean sheet" design. think of this as the USDM FTO. not quite a real DSM and not quite an Evo or a GTO. soem sort of bastardized version w/o a driveline to maximize the power available. $30k for one of these is a little optimistic considering there is always an Evo. unfortunately, with the several plants that have already closed and the plans for Mitsu to axe several models, this isnt going to be promising. i also hear rumors that there will be no Evo after 06. there are brokers urging investors to buy mitsu stock and sell it short on the idea that they will continue to go down the toilet. so this is probably why the new eclipse is out so soon.
