2006 Mitsubishi Ecilpse Specs:
Eclipse GT Model: 260 horsepower 3.5 liter V6 with either a 6 speed manual or a 5 speed automatic transmission.
Eclipse GS Model: 162 horsepower 2.4 liter engine with a 5 speed manual or a 4 speed automatic transmission.
The new 4th Generation Mitsubishi Eclipse has arrived with style. Not looking so much similar to its big brother the 3rd Generations, the 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse has a clear similarity to the very popular 2nd generation (95-99) we've all come to love.
Last year when the sporty 2006 Eclipse Concept-E was revealed it packed a 260-horsepower 3.5-liter V6 for the Eclipse GT, paired with either a 6-speed manual or a 5-speed automatic transmission.
The interior comes in three different color themes that Mitsubishi claims to be geared for specific people:
a) A Sporty charcoal is targeted toward the youths
b) The Hi-Q (medium gray) theme geared for technology/savvy consumers
c) Avant-Garde (terra cotta) theme is for sophisticated drivers with a nick for interior design.
The interior includes high-back sport seats with aggressive bolsters and integrated headrests position, four-spoke steering wheel and stylized instrument panel with soft-touch material. The motorcycle-inspired gauges are backlit with ice-blue.
