In my youth I had a 2nd Gen Eclipse and I loved it! It got me more than a few dates. I always wanted more from Mitsubishi and planned to buy whatever their fastest car was as I got older and had money. Sadly the company fell apart (in my opinion), but watching this reminded me of what I loved about their products back in the day!

That Lancer!! Wow.

    The Mustang SUV is really weird for a number of reasons.

    1. They still sell the fastback and convertible mustang coupe muscle cars

    2. It’s actually a good car and could have stood on its own without the Mustang name

    3. It’s electric and not at all what a Mustang is

      This is it for me. Maybe they just ran out of names.

      But then the whole concept of “sport SUV” is so oxymoronic it makes me wanna tear my hair out.

      It’s like those M3 hardtop verts that add 400lbs. of weight and complete disrupt any sort of weight balance. And then they sell one with a carbon fiber roof alongside it.

      And now the new M5 is a 5k lb. hybrid!?

      Ughhhhhhh I hate consumers.
