yep, that's the early prognosis, that 2008 is gonna be a creepy crawler year industrywide, as was 2007 for that matter. Did you engage in to that race, oldfarmer, or let it go? Your Eclipse does look like a racecar. That rebate was necessary for the '07 Galant(or perhaps you meant a 2008 Galant, even) because Mitsubishi really needs to build a new Galant, one like that concept I posted a picture of on this thread a few months ago. Something bold, modern and new for the Galant. Actually, I kind of like that current Galant body design, but if I wanted that size of car I'd wait for the new Galant design to come out, yes. As for the NY Giants upsetting the NE Patriots, no, I agree, it ain't gonna happen. 18-0 and then an upset...by the NY Giants in the Super Bowl. Nope, this is an instance where desire will not be able to overcome superior talent. Cheating on teams practicing an outstanding sin does not erase an incredible season so far, and Brady to Moss and the rest should prevail and cap the season with a Big Boy victory tomorrow. Gonna be fun to watch as the Giants are severe scrappers on defense and Eli Manning is really coming on and maturing this season. Enjoy it everyone!

Replying to: iluvmysephia1 (Feb 02, 2008 5:57 am) No, I had to let it go. It says right in the owner's manual: "Please do not behave like a dang fool during the break-in period." BTW, the $2500 rebate is for the 2008 Galant including the Raliart Galant. I was tempted because my dealer had one in Rally Red on the lot. I still went with the Eclipse because the 0% financing will save me over 4K. |

and if a coupe will work for you guys all the more better for saving any cash on the initial purchase. I need 4 doors(or 5-door hatchback models)like my Lancer or I would also be interested in vehicles like the Eclipse, Tiburon or even the hot new Genesis Coupe. The new Galant concept that Mitsubishi was showing about a month or two ago on the net looks interesting, as do some of their new hatchback concepts. They both have the new Lancer's kind of nose to them, that is a definite new design direction for Mitsubishi, one that I find particularly pleasing, too. Everybody enjoy the Super Bowl, I'm pulling for the Giants to upset the nasty Patriots. I don't like the NY Giants any more than I like the Dallas Cowboys, but it's just not right for any NFL team to go undefeated throughout an entire season.

Chicago Auto Show. Here's a look at the new coupe:  Updates include revised front and rear styling. The big change for the coming year is a new dual exhaust system for the Eclipse GT, which will bump its output on the 3.8L V6 engine to 265 hp and torque to 262 lb-ft. The V6 can be connected to either a standard 6-speed manual or an optional Sportronic five-speed automatic with manual shift ability.  The Mitsubishi Eclipse GT will also feature standard stability control, HID headlamps and a large rear spoiler, that is shown above. All of the Eclipse models feature standard four-wheel disc brakes with ABS and electronic brakeforce distribution. The GT will get larger ventilated rear discs.

there is also a new Mitsubishi Galant model debuting at the Chicago Auto Show. There's lots of new Galant feature information and you can read up on that introduction here. It should look much like the old Galant to you but I would recommend reading the story and looking at the pictures to get all of the scoop on it. Here's a link to that information: http://paxtech.blogspot.com/

Replying to: iluvmysephia1 (Feb 03, 2008 5:16 am) Sure...now you show me.  Actually, those photos make me glad I got the 2008. That blacked out grill looks similar to the one on the Eclipse Raliart concept they did a few years ago. Looks like some of the products from Audi and VW. I hate that wing on the new one, yuck. Better rear brakes and a few more horses with dual exhaust sounds nice.

Replying to: iluvmysephia1 (Feb 03, 2008 5:51 am) What about that Lancer prototype-S? That looks like what the Eclipse should have been. Very sharp.

Replying to: oldfarmer50 (Feb 03, 2008 9:19 am) The new redesign for the Eclipse will be what the Concept-RA is to become. It is possible we will see another prototype concept prior to the final model. The new Eclipse might be the very first "clean diesel" car from Mitsubishi for the US market, hinting from what's powering the Concept-RA. |

Replying to: iluvmysephia1 (Feb 03, 2008 5:51 am)  Thanks for posting that site. I really like the revised back end of the Galant. The front is OK. I'm really not feeling the chrome surround though. Guess it's an attempt to grab more attention. Yep, 2008 is gonna be a tough year for the everybody. At least Mitsu's January decline was significantly less that that of December. |

The decline was not as bad as December, but it sure is still quite ugly.  I'm guessing a lot of potential buyers are sitting on the sidelines for a few reasons: 1) 4-cylinder Outlander 2) 2.4l 4-cylinder Lancer GTS 3) It's the economy stupid  PS: Sorry, I just had to out that last one...
