Mitsubishi has always collaborated with (or owned by?) Diamler-Chrystler. Excellent examples are the Dodge Stealth and even the tail lights on the newest Stratus (take a look sometime). If anything, I'd place my money on GM and Toyota.

Forgein engines/domestic cars and vise-versa has been occuring all the time. No biggie. More often it is forgein engines/domestic cars.
Just clicked on the link. The side view looks fantastic!!! The front and especially the back end is left to be desired. Interior looks pretty nice too.
Surprised they went with an engine this big. Expected 3.5 or something like that.

Don't like the website. Its not 56k friendly in any way shape our form. All I saw were some short flash video clips without much supporting data. Anyways, don't like the look. Front end seems so small because of the trunk and the tail lights look like crap. I get the feeling this car will make ours seem easy to work on.

I've seen this car in recent auto show pictures .. Front end looks okay, but the rear .. Bluntly, that thing has one big ass. Coming from someone that owns a GP, that's saying something, since our cars tend to be a bit big in the rear too. But that Eclipse .. It's terrible.
Foreign parts = blah. Not sure how much trouble 06 Eclipse owners will run into when trying to mod, since the engine is completely changing.

Looks like a 350Z had sex with an Audi TT, and that is the result.
