EPIC blind spots -- classic

[Rolling]

This model has gotten too soft and fat. It now tries to appeal to too many age groups and doesn’t attract as many people anymore. Mitsubishi should abandon the current drive-train layout/configuration for this car and go back to their original formula.
 
The previous generation eclipses were so popular because they had so much performance potentials. I’m not seeing too much potential in this current offering.
