Year to Year Changes
1996 Mitsubishi Eclipse:
Spyder convertibles debuted during the spring of '96, in GS and GS-T form. Whereas the GS coupe used a Chrysler 140-horsepower, 2.0-liter engine, the GS Spyder adopted a 2.4-liter engine that made 141 horsepower. The GS-T Spyder, like the higher-performance coupe, got a turbocharged Mitsubishi-built 2.0-liter, rated at 210 horsepower. Both Spyders included a power top with a glass rear window and electric defroster, plus power windows and door locks.
1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse:
Facelifting included larger air intakes, more of a bulge in the front fascia and tail panel, reworked headlights, and revised lower-body cladding. Turbo coupes got a higher-profile rear spoiler.
1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse:
The Eclipse was a virtual rerun, following the previous year's styling update.
1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse:
With the Eagle Talon gone, Eclipse carried on alone. Changes for '99 included white-faced gauges on GSX and GS-T models and standard and optional equipment shuffles. A redesigned Eclipse appeared for 2000.
