When was the first Mitsubishi eclipse made?
The first generation Eclipse was released in early 1989 as a 1990 model. It was offered in 5 trims. Eclipse, with a 92 horsepower hamster engine, the RS with 92 horsepower and better trim options, the decent GS DOHC with 140 hp, bigger wheels and much better handling, the monster GS-T turbo(the thing would rip your head off) and the GSX all wheel drive gem that I was sad to see go away after 1999.
