Autoweek bashing 4g eclipse
#3
i pwn therefore i am
I love how the review says that the new exterior styling is going to bring back a lot of people to the brand because it more closely resembles the second generation version. The second generation sold like ***, but somehow because Paul Walker drops a floorboard and blows the welds on the intake manifold, the second gen model is elevated to mythical status.
People can say what they want and like what they want, but it would be nice if they tried to keep in mind some facts and try to understand things from the manufacturers point of view.

Wow I didnt know those new eclipses were 3500 + lbs. I think the 91-92 Eclipse turbo's were the best year even though I would prefer the talon.
