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.

  Hi Performance Sedan - 1997 Eagle Vision
  By Mike G - February 7 - 2:00 am

  Ive always liked sedans for their ride and have nothing but compliments for this car. Even after six years this car still has great acceleration and handling. Only two minor problems...power steering pump years ago and hard starting some times (cold). Otherwise, terrific!

  Excellent car - 1993 Eagle Talon
  By sheri - February 7 - 2:00 am

  Drove this car for 7 years. No problems for majority of time I had it. For 6 years, no problems at all. Replaced all belts and the tie rods recently. That is only major repair in the time Ive owned it. Car has been extremely reliable, incredible gas mileage (drove from WI to NE on ONE TANK of gas each way) Handles very well. It IS small though, back seat comfort not great and because its so low, sometimes hard to see in traffic. Was really happy with this car.

  Although I had the transmission rebuilt (under warranty), I enjoy this car more than my Lexus.

  my 93 Talon - 1993 Eagle Talon
  By Danielson - January 28 - 2:00 am

  This car is my first car and I bought it cash. The first thing that got my attention about this car was the stylish look from the outside and the nice configuration in the inside. even though I have the slowest model of the talon I have put many of extra parts to make it just as fast as the Talon ES. I am very pleased with every feature on this car.

  Been Surprising Reliable - 1995 Eagle Talon
  By Hklee - January 8 - 2:00 am

  As I stated, I am surprised at how well the car has been driving. I have had almost 0 maintenance problems for 60K. It is currently at 100500k miles. Though I have read reviews on its electrical problems and so forth, I have had few problems with it.

  AWD Fun - 1995 Eagle Talon
  By Tony Cummins - December 10 - 2:00 am

  This is an absolute awesome car to own. I wish that I had the ability to buy one new. The performance is awesome (although I have added to it through the help of the aftermarket) Still, a great performer stock. Great traction in bad weather. The interior styling just wraps around the driver (although the gear shift in the manual blocks part of the radio in 5th gear)

  Awesome Car - 1996 Eagle Talon
  By TALON7684 - December 9 - 2:00 am

  This is a very powerful, fast, fun car. The 2.0L turbo/intercooled engine throws you into your seat, and makes people regret their bad comments towards 4-cylinders. The car corners like a dream, never slides.
