I was in Washigton DC last week and spotted this just around the corner from the White House - it's probably not dubbyah's chariot 
Anyone know what it is (apart from being a Mitsubishi)? It was well kitted out on the inside with pods and gauges everywhere.

I think it's a Mitubishi Eclipse, as seen in The Fast & the Furious...
Could be wrong though

The one in the pics looked excellent in the metal and the interior was very tastefully done too. Lovely motors. Thanks for the id guys.

RSG - do you now... Did she import it or what? it's the only one I've ever seen Wonder if she's the same
It's certainly a nice car. I didn't really like the one in the F & the F film - reminded me too much of a Tigra but that one's lookin' good.

theres loads of these around the states, infact isn't the eclipse strictly a car built for the US market?

Franx...
Yeah she imported it personally, and it seemed to have been a pretty straight forward process, although I wouldnt try it myself!!
The one in F & F was a wee bit TOO loud for me too, I prefer things a little more subtle...
What do you drive, cause I am up in Abz a fair bit mate?? Do you go down the beach front??
Cheers,
Grant
