No, it isnt.

In order to circumvent this, the two partners officially incorporated Diamond-Star Motors in October 1985, and in April 1986 ground was broken on a 1,900,000 sq ft (177,000 m?) production facility in Normal, Illinois. The plant was completed in March 1988, with an annual capacity of 240,000 vehicles.[3]

Initially, three models were produced at this facility. The Mitsubishi Eclipse, Plymouth Laser and Eagle Talon were smaller 2+2 sports cars on a new co-designed platform. Models subsequently produced during the next decade included the Mitsubishi Mirage/Eagle Summit, the Mitsubishi Galant, the Dodge Avenger/Chrysler Sebring, and the Dodge Stratus.

Vehicles built at Mitubishi Motors North America have been exported to 26 countries including Canada, Mexico, Guam, Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland, Argentina, Sweden, Portugal, Germany, Austria, Italy, Brazil, Puerto Rico, JAPAN, Russia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Jeddah, Damman, Quatar, Jebel Ali, Abu Dhabi, Oman, Chile and Taiwan.

The Eclipse was never made in Japan, it is an American car. Designed by Chrysler and powered by a Mitsubishi engine and drive train.
