Mitsubishi says goodbye to the Eclipse with SE Special Edition

Friday, Apr 22nd, 2011 @ 12:39 p.m.

Mitsubishi has announced it will be sending off its 2012 Eclipse with a unique SE Special Edition model. The Eclipses launched in the United States in 1990 but will be exiting the market for good following the 2012 model year.

Available on Coupe and Spyder models, the SE Special Edition package includes “SE” side decaling, black side mirrors and 18-inch dark finish wheels.

The SE Special Edition package features all the standard equipment found on the Eclipse GS-Sport models, including a four-speed automatic transmission, leather seats, rearview camera, Bluetooth hands-free, HID headlights and a 650-watt Rockford-Fosgate sound system. Pricing will be announced closer to the car’s launch.

Although Mitsubishi says the Eclipse has evolved from “a sleekly-styled, turbocharged-4-cylinder boy racer model” to a “sophisticated yet distinctive-looking two-door”, we doubt many will miss the current iteration of the car. The first two generation of the Eclipse reached cult status – and with good reason – but the car largely fell out of favor with enthusiasts following the 2000 and 2006 redesigns.
