Why can't we have this?

rememeber the Mitsu Eclipse? They came out with a concept of the 2005 (maybe?) with the flared fenders that were square cut at the ends (like maybe to meet japan width requirements?) and had the sculpted side panels. Anyway, that car looked way cool at the 2003 auto show and when they came out with the production model, they had destroyed everything that made the concept brilliant. So many times this happens.
