Mitsubishi calls its sporty Eclipse an "attainable exotic." Okay, so calling it an exotic may be a little much, but that's not to say that this is one of the best-kept secrets in the mid-price sports-coupe genre. The Eclipse comes with two different engines: a 2.4-liter inline-4 and a V-6. Both powerplants feature Mitsubishi's MIVEC valve-timing technology that helps optimize efficiency and power across a broad rpm range. Also, you get the option to go top down with the Eclipse Spyder model. For 2009, the GT gets ASC (Active Stability Control) as standard equipment. It also gets high-intensity-discharge headlights and three new exterior color choices. The base Eclipse stays pretty much unchanged, but for right around $20,000, it's still a lot of car for the money.
