Eagle Talon

The Talon debuted in 1990 as one of three cars built by Diamond-Star Motors, a joint venture of Chrysler and Mitsubishi, in Normal, Illinois. Eagle, Chrysler's newest division, targets "the sophisticated driver who demands performance and distinctive styling"—someone more likely to consider an import brand. The Talon has been extremely successful on the racetrack, the all-wheel-drive variant having scored numerous victories in the Sports Car Club of America's World Challenge series in the last three years. In 1997 the Eagle Talon received its first styling update since it was completely redesigned for 1995. For 1998, the Talon is the only vehicle to wear the Eagle brand name.
