I've always liked those renditions of the Eclipse. And V6 is always nice. Problem is, there's no way I could fit my bahookie in one...

I think Eclipses are girly yet nifty, but not my kind of car.

But, grats anyway.

I do admitt it is a bit of a girly car but same goes for the miata which is one of my all time favorite cars. 

It sure as hell beats my old corolla.

As if you ever have or ever will go over 180...

Top speed is irrelevant, and Eclipses are perfectly nice cars.  I also agree that this is one of the best Eclipse body styles out there.

Not mad - and I also like fast cars. 

Just noting that 180 mph is a ridiculously high number when discussing street cars.  There aren't more than a couple of dozen street-legal cars that are physically capable of driving at that speed, and it would be suicidal and homicidal to do so on the street.  You might as well have said a million zillion mph.

You know that most race cars never hit 180 either, right?

That kind of speed is found in NASCAR, F1, and some forms of drag racing, but that's about it.

I apologize for going on about this, but it is one of my pet peeves when people get fixated on bizarrely high speeds.

Many cars that people think of as fast cannot do 180.  Mustangs cannot do 180 without serious modifications.  Corvettes only recently passed 180, and unless you have a ZR1, barely so.

Ferraris didn't generally break 180 until the 1980s, and most Lotus Esprits could not (and none of the current Lotus cars can).  Only the very last model NSX cracked 180.

Porsche Cayman S cannot reach 180 mph.  Most German cars in general are electronically limited to 125 or 155, including the various AMG models.

The list goes on.  180 mph is really, really fast.
