I have always been perplexed by the direction Mitsubishi took with their Eclipse model. They seemed to be on to something when it shared a platform with the Dodge(y) Talon.....but then they lost it. Their latest model is FUGLY (and rare....not surprising.)
So traveling I-5 yesterday, I was presented with what, assuredly, must be the latest horrible incarnation of the Eclipse. Looks a bit larger....wretched looking bulbous back end, absurd flared front fenders, odd window line.......wait a minute....as I pass and look at the nose......its a freaking Mercedes!!!!
And a damn expensive one at that. LOL.....and I'm not kidding. I slowed down and took a look. Are you ****** kidding me?!?!?!
$103,000?!?!?!?
Style is a subjective matter, no question, but dear lord. Given the range of cars available for that sort of money......WHY?
Hideous, just hideous.
