WHY did the 4th Generation Mitsubishi Eclipse Fail? (2006-2012 Sales) 

Man the 4g was underrated I used to have a 2009 4g Eclipse now I own an Evo X but man the 4g was a great car it was great daily it has good power and it was very reliable not to mention in my opinion its looks was ahead of its time, would definitely buy another one if I got the chance.

As a 2g owner is sad how the Eclipse name fell from grace

I have the 4G eclipse and it’s really fun and has a ton of space for convenience. But as you said they’re really hard to modify and find parts for. And I think a lot of people don’t like the looks of them as much as the 2G

Recession killed it, people forgot ab the eclipse, Mitsubishi couldn’t make enough money to make a new one.

I have a 2g talon tsi awd and a 4g gt 6 speed. I love both cars.

I like the 4g. I've owned a 2g, 3g, and 4g. The 3g was my favorite so I picked up another one. Why I like the 3g is the build quality is way better than the 2g, and you feel the stiffer chassis on the 3g. My 2g was a 1999 and the build quality was so so bad, door handles want to fall off, windows rattle, etc. 4g build quality is pretty good, the inside door pulls are the only cheap part of the build. Large car though. Also the weight of the top 3g is lighter than the top trim 2g, 3g GTS is 3,053 lb the 2g GSX is 3,210 lb. So with the 3g you're making the same power as the 2g, lighter than the 2g, and have a stiffer chassis.

i managed to find a facelift 09 gt for only 5.5k, its a super fun car especially since its my first car, plus its only got around 110k miles and is still going strong. definitely there are better cars, but i still love it.

I jus bought a 2006 couple weeks ago. The Eclipse was an eye catcher 6 banger ~ badass ❤~ moon roof😊

Well it didn’t “fail” because I’ve seen the majority of the GT out there are still running at over 200k miles.

I know I’m in the minority here but as far as looks go I think the 4g eclipse looks better than all the other eclipse, just such a shame that Mitsubishi decided to make it FWD and that the modding community didn’t take to it as well as previous models

It didn't fail!!!

Wrong opinion😮
