The Mitsubishi Eclipse has been around for quite some time, actually first manufactured in 1990 and was built under 3 different names.  The Mitsubishi Eclipse, Eagle Talon, and Plymouth Laser were all the same with different brandings.  In addition to different labels we've also seen some great performance versions, even the first generation Eclipse had a turbo version, the Eclipse GS-T.

Here we are 18 years later and more than just the cosmetics have changed on this 4 cylinder, cult inducing, small size car.  Below is a stroll through memory lane with the Mitsubishi Eclipse and where it came from to where it's going.

Check out more information about the changes the Mitsubishi Eclipse has gone through over the years at Wikipedia.

Is the latest idea out of the big heads at BMW to target younger buyers? Surely not, at least in todays economy, do younger people really have enough money to purchase a new car...let alone a beamer? It looks like the answer to both questions is a resounding Yes and Yes. Maybe I've made some poor life choices(insert career choices), but I did not have the cash to pony up to buy a BMW when I was younger.

Getting back to when I was younger, I guess it all depends on which side of the hill you are judging age from, but the new target audience is 30-40 years old. Apparently, this is YOUNG! BMW will be marketing a new 1-Series Coupe to this age demographic and of course men will be the primary targets. The trim on this sporty sedan tells the tale of an early mid life crisis.

According to BMW the 1-Series will be available on May 20 and come with two different engine packages. The first is a naturally aspirated 3.0 V6 and the second is a Twin Turbo version of the 3.0. Whoa, that will damn near blow the depends off of grandpa. At last, men going bald at the age of 35 and making more money than you can shake a stick at will have a car made just for them.

It's sleek, sharp looking, powerful, I'm sure it will sell well to the younger crowd that can afford it.

Is it too late in the game to call these 2009 Honda Spy Photos? I mean, it's a few weeks earlier than what Honda had initially planned as an unveiling, but the world will be introduced sooner than later when it comes to this new Honda SUV. Actually, as of this posting the full details of the tiny Honda Pilot should be available at your local dealer.

Oh well, here are the shots of some 2009 Honda Pilots being unloaded off of the truck in the Detroit area, thanks to the Edmunds team of spy shooters.
