The first two generations (1G and 2G) share the automobile platform and parts with the rebadged Eagle Talon and Plymouth Laser captive imports. They were built during Mitsubishi Motors' close relationship with Chrysler Corporation. Their partnership was known as Diamond-Star Motors (DSM). In Japan, the first two generations were sold at a specific Japanese retail chain called "Mitsubishi Car Plaza". (2000/2005) The third-generation (3G) shared a redesigned platform with the Chrysler Sebring and Dodge Stratus. During May 2005, the fourth, and final,(2006/2012) generation (4G) Eclipse was introduced, replacing the Chrysler platform used in the first three generations with the PS platform.
