"   AS SUBTLE AS A BIG DRUM To the thundering, rhythmic booming of a Japanese Taiko band, Mitsubishi pulled the covers off its new Eclipse Spyder and Concept-CT. For those of you who haven&amp;#039;t seen a Mitsu TV spot lately, a Taiko band is a collection of drums, including a big bass one hanging on a stand, being pounded faster and faster. Probably originally to help get Samurai warriors into a wild frenzy before battle or slave at the oars of a galley to row faster and faster. We guess Mitsu hopes it&amp;#039;ll drive buyers to dealerships. With the way the new Eclipse Syder looks, it shouldn&amp;#039;t need the help, though. The car without its roof is sharper-looking than the recently introduced coupe version. The rising beltline which starts at a drop notch after the A-pillar gives the car a really aggressive shape. The cloth top is automatic and, like so many others these days, disappears under a hard tonneau cover. For those who want to take their Taiko with them, the car offers a Rockford-Fosgate sound system with a huge subwoofer in the center of the rear seat and an audio intelligence that adjusts the sound automatically for top-up and top-down driving.  The Concept-CT (that&amp;#039;s Compact Technology) offers nothing really new technologically\u2014it&amp;#039;s a hybrid with electric motors mounted in each of the four wheels for all-wheel drive. But its shape is clean and may be pointing to the direction of Mitsu design. We hope so. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
