There are models that, in one way or another, set trends. He Mitsubishi Eclipse It is one of the Japanese sports that raised the most passions inside and outside their country. It is true that depending on the generation, his design was not the most passionate or risky, but it always offered something different. The problem is that with his goodbye the house of the three diamonds did not know how to react and they did not develop a substitute again. direct at least...
