Talons have lower insurance rates, too

In Washington State, Insurance companies must rate performance cars according to HP to weight, so no, an Eclipse is not more expensive to insure than a Talon or Laser (similarly equipped). This is the same platform used state to state as far as I know. I love mis-information.

I only need to list 1:

Alteeza's.

Nuff said. I thank god every friggin day that stupid little 'Yo Yo thug type bawlers' or the moronic 'we be a Team yo!' nimrods haven't sunk their fingers into the talons. I hate to see the Eclipses go down in flames but thank god most of them aren't smart enough to spell 'Talon' much less know enough to buy one.

Roasted....

Yeah, a hear people call Talons, Tah-Loan's all the time, it makes me laugh..

Thanks for all the input guys. and how much does it cost to do the tail light conversion because that was one reason i wanted to get an eclipse is because they dont have the ugly tail lights, or is there any altezza lights for talons?

may as well buy a honda badge while your at it. altezzas are used and abused. i cant wait till their totally out of style. that will be the day IMO...thou there will always be/always have been ugly car trends......park bench spoilers, colored emblems....and it goes all the way back to the day when someone decided to paint a car vomit green. they should have just kept cars in all the colors the first fords were available in....hehe

Alright, I'll admit I said that based on what my brother and a few friends have told me (when I'd ask if I should get an Eclipse or a Talon), without doing any research whatsoever.
