The Mitsubishi Eclipse is one of those strange cars that a manufacturer through its international partnerships shares and so we end up with the same car, but with many brand names. This is cool for the car maker but highly confusing for some consumers and the Mitsubishi Eclipse is no exception, this car is also known as the Eagle Talon and the Plymouth Laser through the DSM partnership.
However, we will stick to
It is amazing to think that the GS300 has actually been in production for over twenty years and in that time the body shape has changed little from the design that first come off the Toyota production line in 1991! However, as will all cool car designs, Toyota has managed to evolve this model four times and that is why the GS300 from Lexus has been a great success and yet the import builder has avoided this car.
Maybe it is because the GS300 is a
The Scion XB is a car made to be modified, as a base model this is just a mini MPV based on the Toyota Yaris platform it is very square and as a basic car has plenty of scope in fact there is probably more chances for modification than any other car around at the present. It must be down to the plain style of body that it reminiscent of a small van, with square lines and large body panels that offer the builder plenty of opportunities to uses their imagination.
It is funny to think of this car as the fifth generation Prelude, have there really been that many changes to this car over the years since it first entered the small sports coupe market back in 1978. Back then the Prelude competed with the Toyota Celica and the Nissan Silvia, the Prelude must have had something right as it managed to survive right up until 2001 when production finally came to an end and other models took up the challenge.
When the Fresh Touring Origination (FTO) was first brought out by Mitsubishi in 1994, it was a step up in design and performance for a car of this size and market slot, but it is a sad fact only around 36,000 of these cars were made over the six year production run. This is a real shame because; this is a car that offered the consumer some serious performance and styling unlike anything else seen in the sector of the market.
So
Whether you are going to call this a Solara or Camry makes little difference, after all that is merely a name, but the car behind it is something special. The Solara is large two door coupe powered by either a 2.2 litre four cylinder engine or the more preferable 3.0 litre V6 power unit capable of delivering over 200 HP with ease and with the potential for much more too, despite there being just two choices of gear box the four speed auto and the five speed manual.
First of all this is a Honda Civic Shuttle and yes you may ask why on earth we are even mentioning this serious family vehicle on these pages, ordinarily you would be right but we are uber fans of import builders and modified cars! This version of the Honda Civic Shuttle qualifies under both heading and therefore has earned the Honda Civic Shuttle right to appear here front and centre, but first what on earth is a Honda Civic Shuttle?
Lexus is a clever move by Toyota to capture a niche market where luxury and performance are desired. the IS fitted in nicely under the larger executive ES model it could be considered as an entry level car, but there is nothing about this car that shows it as being inferior to its bigger brother, apart from size of course! The IS300 offers the buyer a smooth looking car with a bit of a bite when needed.

Being car designed in the late eighties the Toyota Starlet is a car that offered the drive very little in the way of car technology or gadgets hi-tech would mean a heated rear window. This would have been driving at the basic level and yet at the time it would have been considered to be a real cool car, its shape was revolutionary and the list of option choices for the buyer to choose from was almost endless.
To start off with there i
In the six of production, Mitsubishi Motors built around 37,000 FTO’s so it is highly likely that today that number has reduced considerably and therefore we are looking at a rare machine indeed. Not only is the FTO a decent two seat sports car that offers a choice of a 1.8 litre or the 2.0 litre power unit, with a five manual, four speed or five speed semi auto gearbox, this is a very desirable car.
During its time the car had
