Description

The Eclipse, available in coupe and convertible (Spyder) body styles, is Mitsubishi's front-wheel-drive sports car. The curvy, haunchy design surprised all by appearing in dealerships looking almost exactly like the exotically styled concept car on which it's based. Previously, the Eclipse came as the GS with a four-cylinder and the GT with a V-6. Among the changes for 2008 is the addition of an SE (Special Edition), a limited-production coupe-only trim level that has the GT's firm suspension but comes with either the four- or the six-cylinder engine. It also has some distinguishing exterior and interior characteristics. Another notable change for 2008 is the first-ever electronic stability system in an Eclipse, exclusively on the SE with the V-6 engine.
