Supposedly the new Eclipse could be either ICE or EV and based of the 370 platform. Could this be a poor man's Tesla or ICE sportscaster? Mitsubishi was good at making reliable economy versions of vehicles to compete with Toyota, Honda, and their old arch nemesis, Subaru.
So it's a new Z except butt fricking ugly?
Back end looks good tho
Thats literally just some random render stop making shit up
You can't make something up thats only rumored to be in development.

Don't enable him (you)
>Poor man's Tesla
Teslas are already poor man's luxury car.

epic fail tien
Eclipse is just a shitty small SUV now.
Everything is just a shitty small SUV now.
Mitsubishi doesn't have the resources to make anything but shitty small SUVs.
>Mitsubishi doesn't have the resources to make anything but shitty small SUVs.
They have the resources, but they'd rather make ductless mini-splits instead.
yea, not even 1% of their sales come from cars. They even make the fricking key-fobs for other brands
>Mitsubishi
>Nissan platform
They can’t just let things Rest In Peace can they? They have to bring everything back and make them 1000x worse
I know that Mitsubishi is now just reselling Nissans with some design changes, but that's just ridiculous
This is just a roumour but Mitsubishi is working with Chevrolet to unload some old aluminium 4.2L DOHC L6 engines and 7 speed manual gearboxes, and old floor shifted transfer cases that were mothballed in the 90s will be made with ceramic bearings for high speed operation. The Z71 mirage will feature a 520Hp/420Lb ft engine with twin turbos and mivec to pull 0-60 in 3.8 seconds, 11.6 second 1/4 mile and 180 mph top speed. It features 12 inches of ground clearance in ralley mode and squats to 7 for pavement. Pulls 1.2G on the skidpad cause of the huge spoilers. Operates in RWD, 4wd and 4lo
Would unironically save mitsubishi
I wish this was true, but this almost seems like meth pipe rambling
You fricking moron they are putting a single Turbo 2.4 4cylinder with only 8 pounds of boost into something resembling the eclipse cross and running it through an awd system. and it only has 8 inches of ground clearance, and it will be badged the Z28 cavilier in the states. Its going to have their moronic transverse AWD with front bias and either a 6 speed manual or the 10 spd automatic.
The new Outlander is the only Mitsubishi with a Nissan powertrain. Every other model is 100%, including the upcoming PHEV Outlander.
It's sad that Mitsubishi is reduced to uglier rebadged Nissans and Renaults
It's an improvement over what they've been making though. If they can borrow a Z that's probably the best they've done in 20 years
The fact that they borrowed the Z platform kinda ruins the 400Z and makes it nothing special anymore.
If you say so
I know it's an improvement, that makes it even worse
>ICE or EV
So we know literally nothing about it and it is just a rumor with a cool CG rendering from a low angle to make it look more imposing but we all know that the real car if/when it comes out will probably look nothing like this?
Sign me the frick up! I miss the Eclipse. Always wanted one in high school. There is also a huge shortage of sporty 2-seater EVs with an affordable price tag.
this is the gayest car design ive ever seen. its embarrassing
looks like the cars they used in coin-op arcade games in the late 90s before auto manufacturers realized what godtier advertising it would be
$40k PHEV Outlander is the best fricking deal out there for a 3 row SUV. Interior looks good and frick what anyone thinks, Mitsubishi AWC pedigree is a bonus, frick Subaru.
EV Eclipse 2 + 2 sports car at an affordable price. Frick Mitsubishi if they don't do this. It'd be a hit. Shit, the fricking Mirage is a hit. None of the Mitsu dealers in my metro area have any left. An EV Eclipse qualifying for that $7500 federal subside could bring the price down to $25k like the Leaf.
Makese some sense. They've been sharing platforms with Nissan. Infiniti is soon going to be utilizing the FM ICE platform for it's more affordable cars and a new rear drive EV platform for the Q70 and QX70 replacements. I suspect a smaller version of that will go to Mitsubishi. IIRC that is what is expected to underpin the new Mitsubishi SUV too.
If a mirage can be a small and light as it is why can't other manufacturers make fun small economy cars?
I thought they got bigger because of safety but that's clearly not the case
How cheap small and inexpensive could a car be in America? If the mirage had even else features and interior space
