The Mitsubishi Eclipse and Spyder, produced from 1990 to 1998, were two-door sports coupes that marked a significant shift in Mitsubishi's approach to the American market. The first generation Eclipse, launched in 1990, was a departure from the more conservative styling of earlier Mitsubishi offerings. Featuring sharp lines, a raked windshield, and a distinctive pop-up headlight design, the Eclipse quickly gained popularity as an affordable and stylish sports car. The Spyder variant, introduced in 1992, added a soft-top convertible option to the mix. Both models were offered with a range of 4-cylinder engines, including the potent 2.0L turbocharged unit found in the sporty GSX trim. The Eclipse also found success on the racetrack, with the GSX proving competitive in various amateur and professional racing series.

Beyond its sporty styling and performance, the Eclipse was praised for its practicality. While primarily intended for performance, the car offered surprisingly comfortable accommodations for four passengers, ample cargo space, and a relatively comfortable ride. The Eclipse also boasted a reasonably well-equipped interior with features like power windows, power locks, and air conditioning. However, the car wasn't without its drawbacks. The Eclipse was notorious for its quirky electronics and relatively crude suspension. Additionally, the convertible Spyder was known for its leaky top and somewhat flimsy construction. Nevertheless, the Mitsubishi Eclipse and Spyder, especially the GSX models, left a lasting mark on the sports car market, establishing Mitsubishi as a serious player in the segment and solidifying the Eclipse as a popular choice for both young enthusiasts and seasoned drivers alike.
