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.

  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.

  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.

  Great car - 1995 Eagle Talon
  By Toy toy - March 1 - 2:00 am

  So far I have not had any trouble with this car. It is very good on gas mileage, very economical, and a very fun car to drive. I would recommend this car to anyone who is interested in a small sporty vehicle for cheap!

  4G63 people dont know what theyre missin - 1996 Eagle Talon
  By BuDDyLeE - February 24 - 2:00 am

  i bought this car after looking at many an eclipse, and i couldnt be happier. the car is absolutly solid & perfect. the motor is imaculate the interior still smells brand new, nothing is faded or cracked. the build quality, and overall fun factor involved in driving a 2GNT is overwhelming. these cars ride on rails yet are smooth as silk. lighter than the turbo with many aftermakret kits for adding boost. a great car that i would recommend to anyone, from grandma to your younger brother or sister whos learning how to drive.

  Get the turbo. - 1997 Eagle Talon
  By irrelevant - February 17 - 2:00 am

  This car will rock your face off. The most fun driving Ive ever had is in this car. But, you have to get a turbo- charged model. The base models suck.

  Awesome - 1990 Eagle Talon
  By Spec11 - February 17 - 2:00 am

  The day i purchased the car, i had already knew all about them, but the first time u drive it its like nothing yall ever experience. I have done various mods to it and now at 513HP, I have not lost a race with the new mods. Last thing i raced was a Dodge Viper GTS, and swoked his A$$ all the way to the finih line. Lets just say its the car to have.
