The Eagle Talon is a sports compact coupé that was manufactured between 1990 and 1998 and sold by Eagle.〔''Automobile Quarterly'', Volume 39, number 3 - Page 66〕 The Talon was also marketed by Plymouth as the Laser, and by Mitsubishi as the Eclipse. ==Characteristics== All three vehicles were built on the same platform at the DSM (Diamond Star Motors joint venture between Chrysler and Mitsubishi) manufacturing plant in Normal, Illinois. All three vehicles were mechanically identical (when comparing the same option level) including engine, transmission, and drivetrain. Cosmetically, differences between the three were found in wheels, availability of colors, tail lights, front and rear bumpers, and spoilers. The primary way to establish the identity of an Eagle Talon is its two-tone body color - the 'greenhouse' (roof, pillars, door-mounted mirrors) was always black regardless of the body color (Note: 1G Eclipses with a 2.0 L engine also have black 'greenhouse' roofs). The basic characteristics of the Eagle Talon are: *Two doors *Hatchback *2+2 seating (2 front seats and 2 marginal, fold down rear seats) *Front-wheel drive (FWD) for all option levels except for the top option level, which had all-wheel drive (AWD) *5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmissions *Two-tone color combination as described above *Hood bulge on the left-hand side of the car in order to provide adequate clearance for the camshaft sprockets/timing belt cover on the ''4G63'' engine (Note: the base model DL did not use this engine but still had a bulge as evident in the 1992 Talon brochure. 2nd Generation cars all had such a bulge, even with the inclusion of the 420A engine. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Eagle Talon」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
