    Default 1989 Eclipse - exist?

    I'm in a debate with someone who claims the Eclipse was started in 1990. I say 1989 ( you can find tons of resources online that state it ) so

    which is correct?

    Its just the trannys giving DSMs a bad reputation. I had a VR4 swap in my 3rd gen. Eclipse and i never had any malfunctions other than the four 12's and two amps frying my alternator.... shouldve invested in an amp cap i guess.

    Made in 89 and released in 90. I guess it's all about the angle of the argument.

    Lasers and eclipses came out late in the 89 production year and the talons were released in 90

    The sporty Mitsubishi Eclipse was launched in 1989 - a front wheel drive, three door sports hatchback powered by four cylinder engines.

    It was a high performance creation born out of a joint development between Mitsubishi Motors Corporation and MMMA (Mitsubishi Motor Manufacturing of America, Inc.) formerly Diamond Star Motors.

    There were four models - the base 1.8 litre engine Eclipse, Eclipse GS DOHC 2.0 litre, Eclipse GS DOHC Turbo featuring a turbocharged 2.0 litre and the Eclipse GSX included the turbo charge and all wheel drive.

    The Mitsubishi Eclipse GS Turbo and GSX were quickly among the fastest four-cylinder production automobiles in the world however these turbocharged versions did not sell well for some reason.

    Performance: GS Turbo: 0-60 in 6.8 seconds, 1/4 mile in 15.2 seconds @ 91.5 mph
