Because not everyone is sucking on toyota's left nipple?

Don't get me wrong, I love Scion, and I love my tC even more, but If something better comes out, I'm not gonna sit here with my thumb in my butt. As of right now, the 06 Civic SI Concept looks mighty good, if Honda ever releases the SI remotely close to the concept version, Scion is going to have a problem on it's hands.

 

It's hard not to like 260 h.p. from the v-6 eclipse,but I do think the tc looks alot better.With the tc already having many camry components why not stuff one of there v-6s into the tc instead of waiting god knows how long for the s.c. to come out?I'm sure theres a good reason why they don't do this, but could someone tell me?

 

I don't know about it (eclipse) being the fastest... as an example, the Cobolt SS has a supercharger and it makes 205 HP... the Cobolt weighs around 2900 -3000 lbs, similiar to the TC... the 0-60 number for that car was around 6.1 sec. With rumors of the tc SC having more than 205 HP, I think the tc could be 6.1 or even better...

 

I am goin for stage 2 turbo, then we will see who is fastest.

 

I think the new eclipse is a great car and hopefully it will do well in bringing back young buyers (i'm a DSM fan). I personally like the car. But one thing i'm alittle sceptical about is the price...What will the GT go for?

 

I saw it at a recent car show too, it looks MUCH better in real life than in pictures. I would buy one, but I bet its going to be expensive- moreso than the current eclipse.

 

actually its about 22-24k in the price range. THe only thing i really see wrong with the car is that the car looks like a boat. It really needs to be dropped.
PS i would have never guessed the 2006 tc sc would have won the poll

 

I heard the top model will go for around 30k. Thats a lil much. I admit i do envy things about that car but not that much.

 

I picked the new Civic Si since I already have a tC.

 

Si

The new Eclipse looks like it always does... like F!@#$ing crap.

 

the civic SI is a hot looking car, mainly because it looks alot like the tC. If the tC didnt exicst id rock it. especiall with the extra hp.... still waiting on numbers form the trd supercharger.... along with everyone else in the forum

 

LMAO!!!!! ^ That made my day

 

i saw it first hand at the LA show a few weeks back, it looked much better than the current model.

 

one thing about the eclipse --
this car was supposedly developed from the ground up (of course, using the galant platform). to do so, costs money
we all know mitsu has no money -- so i wonder just how many corners they cut to make this car?

raśl...

 

Umm, maybe because the tC doesn't really stand out in a crowd?

 

where's the guy with the "this thread is worthless without pics" sign?

 

here ya go



anyway, i rather pick the old eclipse than the new one. so i guess i choose the tC...

 

IDK. It looks like it has the front of a tC sorta, the back end of a 350z and a weird slope to it.

 

I think it wouldve been smart of mitsu NOT to cut corners for this car.. they're still trying to amend their rep from the scandals they had a few years ago... which is the deal with their warrenty.. but the Koreans have caught up dramatically. In a lot of ways the 06 eclipse is their last chance in the states. If they don't make it right.. it'll be their swan song.

btw where do you guys see pics of the 06 civic si?
