rmc523 Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 Good News, There’s A New Mitsubishi Eclipse. Bad News, It’s A Rebadged Nissan Leaf | Carscoops Visually, most people will just see a Leaf wearing Mitsubishi emblems, but the Eclipse Sportback does have a few redesigned bits. Up front, the bumper gets a different grille and horizontal intakes with aerodynamic detailing. Despite the official claims, the LED headlights look awfully close to the Nissan units, the difference being that they aren’t connected by a strip of black trim. Should be a BIG hit lol.

Dequindre Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 I know the whole Nissan/Renault/Mitsubishi trifecta is in trouble, but geez... this is a poor effort even for them. It's on par with badging the Outlander as a Nissan Rogue Hybrid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to ask - at what point is it worth staying in business if your product lineup becomes a rebadge of another company's products? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brands rebadging other brands cars used to be more common. Heck GM built a whole brand around it. Mercury was not immune. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
