Mitsubishi Motors North America celebrates the "attainable exotic" Eclipse contest on Facebook

Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc., (MMNA) is engaging its thriving social media fan base with an exciting new contest promoting the sporty and stylish Eclipse coupe.

The Eclipse coupe, a longtime design icon for Mitsubishi Motors, has helped define the brand for a generation of consumers who are drawn by the car's history of athletic performance and exotic sportscar looks. With Eclipse, Mitsubishi Motors offers buyers not only a car with tremendous visual appeal, but it is quite possibly the most seductive-looking sub-$20,000 car on the market. The value equation is enhanced even further for the 2011 model year as the sexy Eclipse coupe becomes even more attainable thanks to a reduced starting price - the lowest ever for this generation Eclipse.

The contest celebrates the Eclipse coupe with a photo contest that seeks images of the Eclipse in exotic settings. Owners can take pictures of their Eclipse on location, or contestants who do not own an Eclipse can utilize high-resolution images of the vehicle we have placed on Flickr and then insert the vehicle into the setting of their choice with Photoshop, creating a dynamic portrait of the Attainable Exotic. The selected Grand Prize winner will receive a Nikon D3000 Digital SLR camera with starter kit, and finalist prizes include $100 gift cards and a Nikon Coolpix S8000 Camera.
