1990-1994 Eagle Talon Review

Similar in appearance and mechanical details to the Mitsubishi Eclipse and Plymouth Laser, Talons came in three performance levels: two front-wheel drive and one 4-wheel drive. Base models had a 135-horsepower, dual-overhead-cam 4-cylinder engine. A turbocharged and intercooled version of that engine, rated 190 horsepower, went into the TSi. Topping the line, the TSi AWD had both the turbo engine and full-time 4-wheel drive. Base Talons could be ordered with an automatic transmission, but both TSi versions were manual-shift only.

Year to Year Changes

1991 Eagle Talon: Antilock braking and an automatic transmission could be installed in turbo models. So, all Talons now were available with 4-speed automatic.

1992 Eagle Talon: Talons earned a fresh face, courtesy of newly exposed headlights to replace concealed units. A new hood dipped down into the nose. Front fenders also were revised, along with taillamps and the rear spoiler.

1993 Eagle Talon: For 1993, a DL base model with a smaller (1.8-liter) engine joined the Talon tribe, to match the lineup of the Eclipse and Laser. The former base car was renamed ES, but kept its 135-horsepower twin-cam (16-valve) engine.

1994 Eagle Talon: For their final outing in this form, Talons changed little but gained new automatic-locking retractors for seatbelts to make it easier to install child seats.
