What do we think of this car?

I quite like it. However it's strange how Mitsubishi never released the Eclipse in their home market.

Yeah, it's AWD and it's pretty much an Evo lancer underneath.

Special attention was paid to increasing horsepower and torque, adding all-wheel drive capability for improved power in a variety of driving conditions while minimizing weight. To boost horsepower to an estimated 400 hp, a turbocharged 4G63 engine was borrowed from the Lancer Evolution and supplemented with a custom air intake and other HKS performance parts.

Does the front grille remind you of the GT-R Proto much?

Both have the same shaped opening. Both have a black bar running 2/3 of the way up. Both have the logo in the same place.
