1993 Talon ES vs ESi, what's diff on the ESi

[wingspan99]

I have two 1993 Talon ES white auto's. Last year I bought a crashed 1993 Talon ESi and stripped it for parts. I never could figure out what the difference was on the ESi vs the ES. Was it a better radio or interior or trim line or larger fuel tank? One of my ES cars has alloy wheels, one has steel wheels so I don't think it's the wheels. Maybe it is the sunroof, the ESi had a sunroof, the large one. Maybe they just added the i to make it sound more like the TSi for sales purposes? -Tom in Colorado

I'm pretty sure its like comparing a gs eclipse to an rs eclipse. Basically they are the same exact thing. Possibly just the options that it can come with.

After trying to do some quick searching, I was unable to come up with any explaination but it seems that the two trims are used interchangeably.

I also found this page but it seems that the part where they explain the trims is no long available.

It seems ES/ESi are used interchangeably, it's odd that Eagle would just add the i since it's not a turbocharged car like the TSi which is intercooled. Thanks for the replies. -Tom

I'm not sure if the "i" in TSi stands for Intercooled, if so, what would the "S" stand for? (assuming "T" means turbocharged)

Turbo Super intercooled!!

Turbo Super intercooled!!

How come I didn't get that?! Imagine... The great people at Diamond Star Motor trying to figure out a new model trim name..

 

[GRAVEDIGGER]

TSi = Turbo Sport Intercooled

 

[Tanro]

The i stands for injection people.

Ya it seems they use ES and ESi interchangably since the official models of Eagle Talon were: DL, ESi, TSi, and TSi AWD. Here's some info on them: Eagle Talon

 

[GRAVEDIGGER]

ES = Entry Sedan
GS = Grand Sport

What do you guys think on that?

 

[TSI from Hell]

TSi = Turbo Sport Intercooled

Makes more sense; but then I'm still wondering about the other trim names; ES/ESI etc.

Edit:

ES = Entry Sedan
GS = Grand Sport

What do you guys think on that?

Hmmm, makes sense.

Got me there Misterbeechy.

We'll just call it Entry Sport then.

 

[TSI from Hell]

Damn I'm slow... I didn't even caught that.

 

[Misterbeechy]

its ok well we can stretch a dsm into a evo kinda like the nissan commercial with the 370z turning into a maxima that would be awesome..

 

[NeMiZiS]

TSi = Turbo Sport Intercooled

I don't think so, because they made a TSI JEEP that wasn't turbo and a Tsi Sebring also not turbo.
It sounds good though.

It's not even a coupe. It's a hatchback.

 

[Misterbeechy]
