Up till now I didn't think the eclipse was anything special to look at - but I really like that one.. must be a new model or something..

I'm still not sure about the shape of the door/window.. something odd about it.. but the overall impression isn't bad..

Yeah new model in 2007 I believe. Looks great, however it's far too American in terms of its 3.8l V6 Mivec putting out a whopping 260HP. Wow.

Hmm - I'm sure some european/asian fiddling can be applied to up that figure somewhat.. I'm always surprised at hom small the bhp figures are on car intended for the us market..

That view of it makes it look very nice alright... no chance of a right hand drive model I guess.

Looks like a concept model - the production version would likely not come close. Still Front Wheel Drive and it would likely be priced similar to the Zed.

A new model 350Z has 309BHP and is Rear Wheel Drive.

No contest.
