Vehicle Highlights
Similar in appearance and mechanical details to the Mitsubishi Eclipse and the Eagle Talon, Plymouth's sporty front-drive coupe debuted in January 1989. Base-model Lasers carried a 1.8-liter 4-cylinder engine, whereas a 135-horsepower, 2.0-liter twin-cam four was optional under Laser RS hoods. The top-flight RS Turbo used a turbocharged 2.0-liter rated at 190 horsepower. A 5-speed manual transmission was standard; 4-speed automatic optional, except with the turbocharged engine, which was manual-shift only.
