The fourth-generation Eclipse is longer, wider, taller, and more powerful. Based heavily on last year's Detroit concept, this latest version is extremely important for beleaguered Mitsubishi, which hopes to recapture the younger buyers lost with the previous-generation car. It better look better on the road than it does at the show if it's going to save this automaker on the brink. GS models will be equipped with a 2.4-liter, 165-hp four and either a four-speed automatic or five-speed manual transmission. GTs will get one extra ratio per gearbox and a 3.8-liter, 260-hp V-6. The coupe is due in mid-2005 with the Spyder following in 2006.
