Nice. Honestly, it was in the boat who were clueless about what DSM meant for the longest time (thought it was a name for a type of JDM car, or Mitsubishi offerings), and even longer was clueless about the Stealth and Talon being a part of it. Yea, it was probably the cheapest car from the movie, while being one of the most significant.

My parents rented a room out for a young guy when I was in my early teens. He had a silver Eclipse GS. I remember thinking that the Eclipse was a great looking car with a large variety of offerings like the RS/GS/GST/GSX. Too bad Mitsubishi abandoned the tuner community with the next gen (bloated 4cy NA and V6).
