Changfeng make the Shogun/Pajero SUV’s in China, could they be making the eclipse as well? Changfeng has always been seen as a bit of a fuddy-duddy car maker with no flair of the other manufacturers such as Chery or Great wall who have bouncy, round car designs - Changfeng is the manufacturer for the Peoples Liberation Army SUV, those rebadged Mitsubishi Shoguns look really stiff and boring (but damned cheap they are!). To be fair, Chanfengs new and upcoming models look like they will rectify that image - the concepts shown at Beijing Auto Show in 2006 and again in Detroit Auto Show 07 really talked up a storm.
Chinese car site, acspy.com, managed to get a bit of a blurry picture of an Eclipse parked up against in a Changfeng short wheel base SUV in a parking lot. We hope Chengfeng really do make this here in China. The choice of cheap Chinese coupes is really, really thin. Although with the likes of Nanjing bringing out the MGTF and Changfeng with the Eclipse it should get pretty wide, pretty quickly!
