2010 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT
Mitsubishi is introducing its revised 2010 Eclipse GT, which arrives in dealerships this summer. Restyled front and rear bumper fascias helped distinguish the Eclipse models for 2009, with the GT also sporting a new large rear spoiler. The GT model also gained standard high intensity discharge (HID) head lamps for 2009, further sharpening front styling while aiding visibility for nighttime driving. (continued below)

(continued from above)
The 2010 Eclipse GT announces its presence a bit more strongly, thanks to a
new dual exhaust system introduced in 2009 that yields a more powerful sound
while also boosting horsepower to 265 (up from 263). Already equipped with a
full array of proven safety technology, the Eclipse GT gained Active Stability
Control (ASC) as standard equipment in 2009. Additional features include the
availability of Bluetooth connectivity in addition to rearview camera with
screen in rear view mirror.
The new two-tone bumper fascias for the GT
model further emphasizes its road-hungry stance. The "attainable exotic" design
of the fourth-generation Eclipse is further underscored for 2010 by the
availability of a moody new exterior hue, Carbon metallic and Solar, a vibrant
new yellow. Models with the standard cloth interior feature upgraded fabrics.
Audio Superpower
The Rockford-Fosgate 650-watt (max.)audio
system that is part of the optional Sun & Sound Package available for the GT
model is among the most powerful factory-installed mobile audio systems in the
market today. The option features a 6-disc, in-dash CD changer that can play MP3
CDs, and also includes SIRIUS Satellite Radio with a 3-month pre-paid
subscription. SIRIUS Satellite Radio provides digital sound quality, seamless
coast-to-coast coverage, and nearly 200 channels of programming, many of them
commercial-free.
The Rockford-Fosgate system plays through nine speakers,
including a 10-inch subwoofer. The PUNCH control and Digital Signal Processor
(DSP) give the user total control over the subwoofer's "punch" level and provide
custom music-genre equalization as well as sound field image settings,
including: Normal, Stage, Live and Hall. A DSP sound setting memory function
allows users to configure all eight DSP settings and save them in six preset
locations for favorite CDs, artists, or music genres.
