A "sport compact" with FWD, a 60/40 (f/r) weight bias that weighs in at 3,472 lbs... even the Chrysler 300c isn't that much of a tank. You have to love Dan Neil's prose, however:

The Evo proves Mitsubishi knows how to get its freak on, and so it wasn't unreasonable for Mitsubishi fans to hope the new Eclipse would be honed with the same stone.
