Just drove the new Eclipse and the new Celica the other
day, trying to find any reason NOT to order a Type R.
Didn't find that reason. The Celica was pretty fun but the
Eclipse was a pooch.
So, do I want a yellow Type R or black one? :-)

Lousy, if it's at all like it is on paper. It'll measure up more
with
the Probe/MX-6 cars. A V6 front-driver with no limited slip? Can you say
"oink"?
IMHO, I think the decision to discontinue the AWD turbo cars was
as
ill-conceived as Mazdas to pull the RX-7 from the US market, if not
moreso. The DSM cars were still selling. And the styling of the new
eclipse? YUK!
