According to Mitsubishi...
I was watching tv and a Mitsubishi commercial comes on. They cut to a scene showing the Eclipse and the text at the top says "The best selling Japanese sports car over the past 20 years" 
. I guess it's just cool to blatantly lie to unassuming consumers.
First of all, what kind of BS are they feeding people to even consider the Eclipse a sports car?
Secondly. Even if it were a sports car, wouldn't this title belong to the Miata?

I've seen that commercial. Without getting into the argument of "is the eclipse a sports car"...I believe them.
There's not too many Japanese "sports" cars that have been around for the past 20 years consecutively.

Based on these numbers I would guess the Eclipse outsold the Miata by 2:1

Looks like about 2m Eclipsi over the cars life.
The first and second gen were close enough to sportscars for me.

I would much rather have a GSX Eclipse then a Miata, any day of the week.
