Mitsubishi Eclipses are so much better..

True, i agree, but dont turbo eclipses cost at least 2k more than Civics? If so, then by spending 2k on your Civic, you have just given your car the performance of a turbo eclipse for less money.

Now, not that i agree with this perspective, but i do understand that the eclipse is made for the turbo as the Civic is not - and one could turn up the boost on their eclipse or talon and have a faster car for virtually no money.
