Mitsubishi is officially a lost cause

Mitsubishi is redoing their entire line up. Sadly, it seems that they have planned their downfall.

This is the Eclipse Cross. They’re betting their money on this !

Its horrible because...

Looks: It looks like a modern Aztek.

Proportions: It has the proportions of the newer Outback, which I hate.

Name: Eclipse - Reviving an old name for a car that’s no where close to the original? Not good. Cross -  How many coupes have been directly translated to CUVs that make any sense? (Without becoming a “4 door coupe” first. I’m looking at you, BMW.) More badder.

If you think this doesn’t look bad enough, wait till you see the Xpander. Just look at this!

I don’t know what they want to expand or who this will pander to. I am guessing its people who love vans and love Multiplas.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Apparently, we can expect 6 all new cars and 5 redesigns. I don’t know what to expect anymore, but they are off to an awful start.

In terms of Subaru proportions, the Eclipse Cross is more like a 1.25x Crosstrek than an Outback.

You know they don’t often hit the nail on the head with how a car looks and what its name is but they sure did with expander.

It’s like a ‘17 Edge and a ‘whatever Aztek made a baby.

... You’re just stating opinions.

Truth is this will bring in a lot of money to a failing car maker. What you want is for them to make 400 hp rally machines and drop top sports cars while earning no profit off of what they produce.

These crossovers are called cash cows. If you want a Lancer Evo again you’ll have to get used to this. Sportscars don’t earn money anymore.

This is why I hate the car enthusiast circlejerk.

PS: you’re not allowed to hate the fact that they’re naming a new crossover ‘Eclipse’ if you hated the last generation of the Eclipse. That’s like breaking up with someone then getting mad when they find a new partner.

Truthfully its more like a Lexus NX or RX than anything Subaru makes.

As far as looks go, I think theyre trying to follow Toyota with their C-HR with the ‘ballsy’ styling. Not saying I like it.

I’ve seen those in person. They’re cute.

I am not sure what made them so unpopular.

I see what you mean.

The C-HR and H-RV are abominations in my book.

I have bad news.

It’s one of the worst designed things I’ve ever seen. From the outside, at least.

I agree. They are just opinions.

I don’t need them to make cars that are that niche. I like Mazda a lot and they make only 1 enthusiast focused car.

The other cars still look good and are fun to drive, considering the competition in their respective segments (like the Mazda 6 and CX-5).

I know why they’re going with a crossover. But good cross overs are possible to make. They should have made a better version of the smaller Outlander. The Eclipse Cross (to me) is not better.

And I wouldn’t have been as mad if the remaining cars are more handsome and turn out to be fun to drive.

The reason I lost hope is that if this is what they are showcasing - what they consider to be worthy of international car shows - I don’t know what the remaining cars are gonna be.

It’s like an anime girl, translated to car design.

Gigantic (fog?) lights with frowny eye brows attached to a van.
