A convertible version of the new Eclipse joins the lineup dubbed the Spyder. The convertible features a power-operated soft top that retracts in 19 seconds. The Spyder offers the same 162-bhp 2.4L I-4 260-bhp 3.8L V-6 powertrains found in the coupe. Like the coupe, the Spyder is FWD only.
A new Outlander debuts based on a new platform to be shared with the next-generation Lancer compact. Outlander grows in wheelbase and track resulting in a larger vehicle that is big enough to offer optional 3rd row seating. An aluminum roof helps to reduce weight and lower the center of gravity. All models are powered by an all-new 3.0L V6 teamed to a six-speed automatic transmission. Both FWD and AWD versions will be offerd.
The Galant receives updated styling for 2007. All models receive a new front and rear bumper fascia and a grille with a chrome surround. A new Ralliart model is added that wears a distinctive front bumper, mesh grille and projector-style headlamps. The Ralliart is powered by a 258 hp version of the 3.8L V6 found in the GTS. Both models feature a new 5-speed automatic transmission.
