Odd.  Why would Boeing use such a silly vehicle.  The tail light and door handle gave it away for me. :mask:

I guess they wanted a vehicle that truly captures the revolution and excellence that the dreamliner represents.



Actually I think it's because Mitsubishi and Boeing have some sort of cooperation in the Dreamliner.  Though, Mitsubishi motors is it's own seperate company now, I think the Mitsubishi group still holds alot of shares or something.

I guess Mitsu makes the composite wing. Though things probably aren't as rosy now as when that Eclipse first got that livery.
