For the 2007 model year, an Eclipse Spyder joins the Eclipse coupe that was redesigned for 2006. Fresh off that redesign, the coupe gets only minor changes, including new colors and option packages. Exterior Design touches include a split grille flanked by monocle headlights. In profile, the Eclipse has an arched roofline and what Mitsubishi calls flexed surfaces. An integrated rear spoiler is standard, and a large stainless-steel tailpipe is installed on the GT coupe. New colors for the coupe include Ultra Red Pearl and Sunset Pearlescent. For the first time, the Eclipse's unibody uses a flat, stamped cross-member structure. The rigid construction combines with a wider track to improve handling and stability but not diminish ride comfort. MacPherson struts are used in the front suspension, while a multilink configuration goes in the rear. Front and rear stabilizer bars are installed. Aluminum-alloy wheels hold 17-inch tires, but GT coupes can be equipped with seven-spoke 18-inch wheels. Built on a 101.4-inch wheelbase, the Eclipse is 179.7 inches long overall. Although the Spyder's resemblance to the coupe is apparent, particularly in the beltline and the rear end, its retractable top gives the Spyder an identity separate from the teardrop-shaped coupe. The cloth top folds under a tonneau cover that keeps the Spyder's lines clean. As in the coupe, the grille is bisected by a tapered extension of the bodywork. The Spyder rides on 17-inch wheels, with 18-inch wheels available on the uplevel GT. Interior High-back sport front seats in the four-passenger cabin contain integrated head restraints. The driver faces a four-spoke steering wheel and a soft-touch instrument panel. Motorcycle-inspired gauges are backlit in blue. Three interior color schemes are available: Techno-Sports (charcoal), Hi-Q (medium gray) and Avant-Garde (terra cotta). Cargo volume totals 15.7 cubic feet. Standard equipment includes air conditioning, keyless entry, cruise
