Inside it's not quite as radical but still offers an unorthodox layout, while pleasing to the eye. Its 3-pod dash is made of soft touch plastics, beneficial for crash protection, while audio, temperature and other readouts display up top of the center stack on a small LCD panel. The gauge package uses large, round easily legible dials while a 3-prong leather-wrapped steering wheel allows for optimal 9 o'clock 3 o'clock placement of the thumbs and fingers.
My first Chrome Blue Pearl colored test car (shown) was upholstered in black and blue leather while the Alloy Green Pearl one I tested last week had tan hides, both attractive and well put together. The seats are comfortable but not as form fitting as some of the model's sportier competitors. Still, only racers seem to like the ultra-large side bolsters that keep the back in place during aggressive maneuvers but make getting in and out a chore. The Eclipse is much easier to live with day to day when it comes to that.
