I like the Evo 10 and always wanted a 3000GT VR-4. It would be sad to see the company go, even though their lineup is a bit of a let down these days.

The 2nd gen Eclipse wasn't really the best at anything, but it was a relatively affordable "sporty" two-door that looked really great. The mid to late 90's wasn't exactly the best years for sports cars considering this was introduced just as the 300ZX, RX-7 & Supra were saying their goodbye's in North America. If you look back at when the Eclipse was worth looking at, you'd see there wasn't a lot to choose from. This had the styling of a Japanese import without the pricetag of the true sports cars. The 3rd and 4th generation Eclipse just flat out tried too hard and look like crap. They destroyed the one thing going for it, the design.
