(from Mitsubishi
Press Release) The Mitsubishi Eclipse offers the sport
coupe customer an "attainable exotic" with striking design, sports
car handling and dazzling performance. For 2009, Mitsubishi restyled
the front and rear bumper fascias and gave the Eclipse GT model a
large rear spoiler. The GT also gets three significant upgrades for
2009: a new dual exhaust system yields a more powerful sound while
also boosting horsepower to 265 (up from 263); standard high
intensity discharge (HID) head lamps sharpen front styling and aid
nighttime visibility, and standard Active Stability Control (ASC)
enhances driving safety and performance.
Three new colors are available: Maizen Blue pearl, Quick Silver
metallic and Solar, a vibrant new yellow. New interior cloth fabrics
give all models a richer interior feel and appearance. The optional
Sun & Sound package for GS model now includes aluminum pedals.
Eclipse is offered as the 4-cylinder GS and the V-6 GT. The GS
model's 162-hp 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine is teamed with a 5-speed
manual transmission or an optional 4-speed automatic. The GT's 265
hp 3.8-liter V-6 produces 262 lb.-ft. of peak torque and is teamed
with a 6-speed manual transmission or optional 5-speed automatic. In
both engines, Mitsubishi Innovative Valve Timing Electronic Control
(MIVEC) helps to optimize efficiency and power across a broad engine
speed range. Both automatic transmissions feature Sportronic
shifters to allow manual gearshift control.
A rigid platform and 4-wheel independent suspension give the Eclipse
sporty road manners and a compliant ride. All models are equipped
with standard four-wheel disc anti-lock brakes (ABS) and electronic
brake-force distribution (EBD); the GT features larger, ventilated
rear discs and standard 18-inch alloy wheels.
The Eclipse interior combines exotic-looking design with comfort and
safety, including standard advanced dual-stage front air bags,
seat-mounted side air bags and front seat curtain side air bags.
High-back front bucket seats feature integrated, open head
restraints for a sporty look and enhanced rear visibility. The 50:50
split-folding rear seatbacks provide cargo versatility.
The available 650-watt (max.) Rockford-Fosgate Premium Audio system
includes SIRIUS Satellite Radio with a 6-month pre-paid
subscription. The system combines AM/FM/CD/MP3 playback capability,
PUNCH control, a six-disc, in-dash CD changer and a 10-in.
