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.

  I have owned my Talon since it was new. These cars are very driver- friendly and reliable. YOU CAN BUY YOUR OWN TURBO FOR THEM AND MAKE MORE POWER WHILE PAYING LESS FOR INSURANCE. If you would like to know more about these cars, there is web community called 2GNT full of owners who love their 2GNTs (second generation non- turbo) cars and can help you with any mod/repair for FREE! Buy this car!

  94 Eagle Talon DL - 1994 Eagle Talon
  By Jack James Jameson - April 24 - 2:00 am

  I bought a 94 about three years ago (2000) used with 99,000 miles on it. It now has 137,000 and its still running strong. This car has great mechanical reliability, but the electrical system has all kinds of problems. Its fast and sporty . . . a lot of fun to drive. If you want a pretty reliable car with a little bit of extra power, at a good price, pick this.

  Encredible! - 1998 Eagle Talon
  By Tammara - April 21 - 2:00 am

  Talons are the greatest! They are the most fun to drive and one of the nicest looking cars! I wish that they were still being made today.

  eagle - 1993 Eagle Talon
  By Anthony Keim - April 17 - 2:00 am

  I have driven the vehicle over 136,000miles with only one major problem. I lost the timing belt at 59,000 and it bent my valves. Chrysler came good. I serviced it every 3K and it has treated me great. I still have it.

  96 Eagle Talon ESi - Rad - 1996 Eagle Talon
  By FrickenA - April 15 - 2:00 am

  My experience with this vehicle is a good one. Its sweet looking and the chicks dig it. The 2 liter engine is pretty much the only down fall, although, Im not into street racing so I couldnt care less. Thanks for reading this.

  Best Car Ever Owned!!!! - 1998 Eagle Talon
  By Kezer - March 28 - 2:00 am

  I bought this car with 72 000km on it. I bought it because the kms were so low. With so little kms, theres nothing that can go wrong with it. The AWD system is amazing!!!!! It has saved me from a few accidents (or at least REALLY close calls). Youll appreciate the LSD if you drive in snow or bad weather like we do lots up here in Canada. . If you are trying to buy one, look for one with kms under 100 000 and with no performance upgrades. Trust me TALONs are great cars. To get this type of performance, looks and features, youll have to buy a BMW or Lexus. I ve owned many cars before and the TALON by far tops them all off!!! Buy one while you still can.
