Eagle Talon

Talon


The Eagle Talon, produced from 1990 to 1998, was a sporty compact car built as part of a joint venture between Mitsubishi, Chrysler, and Diamond-Star Motors. Sharing its platform with the Mitsubishi Eclipse and Plymouth Laser, the Talon offered various trim levels, ranging from economical base models to performance-oriented versions featuring turbocharged engines. The turbocharged Talons, particularly the all-wheel-drive versions (AWD), were highly regarded for their performance capabilities, offering a compelling blend of speed, handling, and all-weather traction. The Talon's styling, while not as aggressive as some contemporaries, presented a sleek and sporty aesthetic. Its relatively compact size and nimble handling made it enjoyable to drive on twisty roads. The Talon represented a successful example of a collaborative effort in automotive manufacturing, providing a competitive and enjoyable sports compact car that appealed to a wide range of drivers. Its legacy remains significant among enthusiasts of Japanese sports cars from the 1990s.
