No 95-99 Eclipse?
Instead we got the two ugliest and least popular younger siblings? Hope they add more cars in the future. Would love to have the full lineup of Evos and the R35 GTR. Shame about Honda not being included. I know some people are upset about only Japanese cars but they have had American and European in the older games. I'm sure it's a "waiting and watching, and wondering why" approach; see how successful this reboot is.

Ironically, despite under a Japanese car manufacturer, Eclipse was never a Japanese car to begin with; it's American made. So in other words, Eclipse is the first American car available for this game.

R35 and Hondas are in the files, presumably in the works.

Full line of EVOs... yeah I'd wish that as well. My fav was the VIII and IX.

As for the Eclipse... 95 and 99 Eclipse both only featured FF version in Japan, so you might wanna be careful what you wish for...

I"m hoping later on they'll add in the early 2000s NSX. Would have been nice to cruise around in one now though.

It's debatable because Mitsubishi Motors owned Diamond Star Motors in Illinois during Eclipse production. It has parts from numerous places, including Japan. It also was sold in Japan in limited quantities. But every manufacturer makes cars outside of their primary corporate country. E.g. There are a dozen Honda plants in the USA and they are still "Japanese". And some companies don't sell certain models in their home country. At least Eclipse made it back to Japan in some form or another (via import). Lancer EVOs also shared the same 4G63T Sirius engine as the Eclipse.

Regardless, the game has one of the worst Eclipse models which is the big issue. Fans would love to see the Gen 1 / Gen 2 turbocharged models with AWD.

Wish they had the MR2 SW20 too, especially since it was in the old games.

My question is why the hell did they make the RX8 so strong??? That car is hideous, slow, and garbage in reality. So confusing why they made it so fast... I hate it lol.

I don't get the hype behind it, the only RX-8 I ever lost to was Angel and that was only 3 times, pre nerf of course

At his point it is a licence wait game, last i read in here Genki and Honda still have not finished the negotiations.

Probably less than half.

Like I said before, from what can be seen with a quick Japanese wiki check, AWD Eclipse probably never existed in Japanese market.

Naughty Honda. Wonder if we'll had opportunity to drive any Isuzu, Infiniti or Lexus cars.

This commercial says that you are incorrect:

This Japanese commercial even says "Full time 4WD" in it at the 30 sec mark.

The commercial also says "Just Imported" right at the end, you know, from America.
I think the only version of the Eclipse ever sold in Japan was the 3rd gen Spyder, and even then, all of them were LHD.
