To make a 3G look even halfway decent, you need a tasteful bodykit (doesn't help much IMO).

That last pic of the white 2nd gen with the split-spoke Volks, is that a photoshop? Cuz it definitely looks to be the same car as the white one on the previous page.

But my main point isn't that the 3G is a step down from the 2G because of its looks (those are subjective), it's because of its performance.
I can't blame Mitsubishi for doing what they did (the EVO basically replaced the DSMs as the main performance car), but when Skinny69 called the 3G Eclipse the "big block" of the import world, I had to step in.
DSM/EVOs and Supras would be the most likely candidates to hold that title. There are others (Skyline, 240SX, etc.), but fast ones are too rare to be seriously considered.

I think it probably is the same car, just at a different time.

That black 2g is sexy. An older guy I play poker with has a newer eclipse. It runs pretty decent, has a good sound system, interiors pretty nice. It's an all around nice car. Only thing it needs, is to be lowered. Everything looks better lowered.
