The Eclipse, available in coupe and convertible (Spyder) body styles, is Mitsubishi's front-wheel-drive sports car. The curvy, haunchy design surprised all by appearing in dealerships looking almost exactly like the exotically styled concept car on which it's based.

Shortly after introducing its compact Outlander sport utility vehicle, Mitsubishi added the Endeavor, a larger crossover SUV. Similar in size to the automaker's seven-passenger Montero, the midsize Endeavor is intended primarily for on-road motoring. A dual-range transfer case is not included, so offroad capabilities are limited. The Endeavor's competition includes the Honda Pilot, Nissan Pathfinder, Buick Rendezvous and Chevrolet Equinox. For 2008, all Endeavors get a standard electronic stability system and a new exhaust finisher, but the rear glass no longer opens independent of the rear hatch on the LS model.

Not content to let competitors drift alone into the 250-plus horsepower stratosphere, Mitsubishi gave its Galant midsize sedan a modest freshening last year that included an upgraded 258-hp V-6. For 2008, that engine is available only on the top, Ralliart trim level. The 230-hp V-6 has been discontinued. Also for 2008, the GTS trim level was discontinued and its features spread throughout the remaining three trim levels.

Mitsubishi redesigned its smallest SUV for 2007. The Outlander grew in size compared to the previous model, and that version was only available with a V-6 engine. For 2008, Mitsubishi adds a 168-horsepower, 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine and continuously variable automatic transmission to the mix.

The Raider comes in extended cab and Double Cab body styles and can have either rear- or four-wheel drive. For 2008, the number of Raider trims has been slimmed down; now buyers can choose between one extended cab model and two Double Cab models. All Raiders are powered by a 210-horsepower, 3.7-liter V-6.
