Overview & Reviews

The Jeep/Eagle division was formed in 1988 shortly after Chrysler bought the American Motors Corporation in 1987.

At the time, Detroit brands like Chrysler were trying to fend off increasing sales by import brands with the creation of their own import-style sales divisions. Eagle began with the Renault-influenced products developed for AMC, the Eagle Premier and the Eagle Medallion. The rest of the division's portfolio was filled out by vehicles from Mitsubishi, the Japanese company that had long been Chrysler's partner in the importation of small, fuel-efficient vehicles.

Jeep sales gave some energy to the Eagle division, but once Chrysler broke off the sport-utility brand and made it available to its own dealers as the SUV boom began in the 1990s, the Eagle brand quickly foundered. Chrysler announced the end of the Eagle brand in November 1997 and the last Eagle Talon, a badge-engineered version of the Mitsubishi Eclipse, came off the assembly line shortly thereafter.

  Good Fast Car - 1997 Eagle Vision
  By Bob M - August 31 - 2:00 am

  This is easly one of the best cars Ive owned in this class. It is reliable, fast off the line and very comfortable maintenance has been minamal and the handeling is good. It makes me miss my 1969 Chevelle. Although Im not happy with Chryslers powertrains of late (with the transmission problems they have) Im hoping for the best from this car.

  Life In The Fast Lane - 1995 Eagle Talon
  By Aveed Khaki - August 24 - 2:00 am

  Ive driven Hondas, Toyotas, Chevys, Fords, Benzs, BMWs you name it Ive pretty much had a chance to drive it or own it. Never have I had as much fun in a car as I have in my talon. I absolutely love the car and fell in love with it within the first couple days that I owned it. I bought the car with 83,000 miles on it and in less than two months I have added nearly 3,000 more, simply because I like to drive it, no long trips or anything. This car is beauty and the beast all in one. Ive already left many a mustang/corvette owner sad and blue after a race off the line. I just wish I had bought it sooner. :)

  My car is awesome - 1995 Eagle Talon
  By Jacqueline - August 5 - 2:00 am

  I love my car! Its much faster than other cars Ive owned. Its smooth on the road and handles very well. Its also great in snowy weather because of the AWD. Plus, its just a nice looking car! I like how people always think its newer than a 95.

  take care of your car - 1991 Eagle Talon
  By prevent matenence - July 30 - 2:00 am

  im more than sick of people complainin about there mitsubishi engined cars breakin down cause of the timing belt or wining about the turbo. if u check your belt about once every 3 or 4 or months 20,000 miles at least odds are that ull find the problem before u blow the head on your motor. checkin the belt isnt difficult its a total of four screws to remove. and if u turn your car off emediatly without lettin the intercooler on the turbo cool the turbo down of course your gonna wreck it ull do that to any turbo. i bought my car with 107000 on it and it now has 190000.

  Eagle Talon - 1995 Eagle Talon
  By Brent L - July 24 - 2:00 am

  The car is really fun to drive. If the performance isnt enough, very little money can make it much faster. Front seats are pretty comfortable, backseats are pretty much worthless.

  Best Car Ever Owned!!!!! - 1998 Eagle Talon
  By David Reid - July 19 - 2:00 am

  My talon is an amazing car, ive owned it since it was new and have treated it like it was my child! If you keep up your talon, itll last forever(Mitsu. engine) This car is pretty much 50% American/50% Japanese. There are so many little standard features on this car that others $20 000 more dont have -Lighted key ring -Full size spare -Bra and these are just a few features! Overall, this is the best car I have ever driven in. The best part of all is all of this performance for such a small price tag.
