First released 15 years ago, the Mitsubishi Eclipse has been the

franchise model of the Mitsubishi but has not always generated

enough sales. The previews generation “geo-mechanical” styling

receives less attention as compared to other coupe in its class.

Today, all hopes to take the dominance of Mitsubishi in sports

compact coupe division with the launch of the all-new 2006

Mitsubishi Eclipse are anticipated. Now in its fourth

generation, the 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse rides of the Galant

chassis platform in a coupe version. Set to hit the road in late

spring this year, the 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse will be available

in two trims and two new powertrain.



The new Eclipse feature a state of the art design, very unique

to other vehicle of its kind. The exterior profile of the

Eclipse presents a lot o tension inherent on the surface. “The

designers who was developing it spoke a lot about a bow (like a

bow and arrow… so even thought the car is standing still, it

feels like it is just about to spring,” said Dan Sims, the

General Manager for Design Center. Another good this about the

design is the “teardrop-shape” the Eclipse posses. The body

starts wide moving the hip-like rear. The lean and mean exterior

feature of the eclipse personifies the sporty, athletic, and

well-crafted vehicle.



Under the hood lies the 3.8l V-6 engine also used by the Galant

sedan, the most powerful in its class. The 6-speed manual

transmission or Sportronic automatic transmission, traction

control, and 18” alloy wheels adds to the power and beauty of

the Eclipse. The 3.8l MIVEC V6 produces 262hp at 5,750 rpm as a

result of variable valve timing and lift. Torque can reach as

high as 260 pound-feet at 4,500 rpm. It can zoom from 0-60 in

6.8 seconds.



The interior is amazing. The two-seater cockpit provides comfort

in its leather cover. The uniquely beautiful, motorcycle adopted

speedometer gives a different look in the dashboard. The Eclipse

GT offers a 650-watt Rockford Fosgate audio system, complete

with a 6-disc in-dash CD changer with MP3 playback. The Digital

Signal Processing (DSP) surrounds you with an array of

customizable sound settings served up by eight speakers with a

10-inch subwoofer.



The 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse is fun to drive, extremely balanced,

fast, beautiful, and cool vehicle. For more information about
