A grand tourer.
Not the sports car the Eclipse once was. |

Calling this a "sports car" is a bit of a stretch to say the least. Call it what it is, namely,
a Grand Touring convertible with perhaps "sports car" pretentions. Anything front
wheel drive ain't a sports car that's for sure. |

Head on competition with Toyota Solara?
Neither cars interest me. |

For a lot of people this car makes sense. Lots of power, good ride, great looks. Not everyone needs corner curving handling - I'm sure for most this car will feel sporty enough. |

Great looks in a melted soap bar kind of way I guess... |

Nice styling ...
but
strut suspension, front wheel drive, sedan platform, big weight. Does have rack and pinion steering but its too little, too late. Much like a fat women in a running suit. |

This is such a tub of lard. And the TV commercials made it such a promising car. Calling any FWD sports car is misleading. Grand Tourer it is. |

AWD Eagle 1 was a little more darty/edgy/louder somewhat even though AWD Eagle 2 had the bigger Turbo and other bits. I prefered #2 even though it took me a long time to warm up to its shape. Railton |
