Actually they likely did it because the Evo is the AWD turbo-charged car Mitsu wants to sell without competing against itself. The Lancer now comes in the Ralliart and Ralliart Sportback models which boast AWD and a weaker turbocharged engine. To bring the Eclipse back to it’s BEST form (ie 2G) would be to compete heavily against itself. Faster or not, I’ll take the 2G platform all day long over any other Eclipse model. 4g63 was one of the best and more easily mod-able engines.
@PSRack they decided to do that because its economical. While they research. Remember that the 4G eclipse is faster than the rest. by A LOT 1.5 seconds to be exact on 0-60. They made a HUGE leap while working on the evo. Which will be on future eclipses. The Evo XI is going to be Hybrid/Diesel. Thats going to be a huge accomplishment for mitsu. Everyone is heading in different ways. But i think they know what they are doing. After all, even though their top model was FWD, it was the best seller.
I loved my 1st gen, loved my 2nd gen, hated the 3rd gen (didnt buy one) and i love my 4th gen. If this becomes the ralliart… i wont be buying it either. If i wanted an evo, i would buy an evo. This thing is just horrible. Looks like a lambo and an evo had a baby with downs.
