Hm, i live the specs and the interior, but i'm not feeling the looks =/
the back is kinda nice....but the front is too.......sweet. too mundane, too "city-car" instead of "turbo-monster".
Would you say, judging by this pic, that we're dealing with a 260 BHP cannon?
I wouldn't....it lacks that demonic aura..
edit: pic wont show, it's the dead-on front angle.

Eh, i'm guessing the IS350 is a tad more expensive, though.
Still, i agree that 260bhp from a 3.8 litre engine isn't a lot. And certainly not when we take Mitsu's V-tec system (or whatever they call it, same principle) into account. That 3.8 isnt exactly stressed out.
Why they've changed from 2litres turbocharged engine to big V6's is beyond me.

Well yeah it had better with that big engine.

this is. New Lexus (doesnt look half-bad either!)
Shit, are they or are you speculating? That'd be the bomb though 
Im still not liking it that much, but modded it can look nice i guess. Stock looks horrid.

So what if it's FWD? It certainly is no rice burner. It's not even in standard trim. 260 PS is decent enough.
People call Japanese cars "Rice" too fast. Rice is looking fast without being it. Do what i said and you're hella fast.
Whether you want 450 bhp on your front wheels is a different matter entirely.

the car does have potential. if someone can properly build it, it might be able to tap well over 300whp all motor. thats nowhere near rice burner. rice burner is what i see in new jersey, kids with wings, alteezas tail lights, and wont leave mustang owners alone. their cars run 18 second quarter miles and make around 90whp. this eclipse is NOWHERE near rice burner. this thing runs 14s out of factory which is good for a fwd eclipse. i used to own a dodge stealth r/t. and i can tell you it was quick from a roll. and guess what it made 222hp all motor. the same if not more than some mustangs were making at the time. the car handled good too, we always took it to the park to run it in the twisties and we had no oversteer, only in the rain. that car was bone stock and didnt sound ricey at all. it sounded quiet at the lower rpms but still had a growl like a supra, and when it opened up in the higher rpms, it sounded like a supra too.
