90-91 talons in black are my preference..although i had a 91 gsx in black that i liked a lot too.

i like the 95-96 talons better than the 95-96 eclipses, but the 97 talon front end reminds me of a pig snout, so i would prefer the 97+ eclipses.

not a big fan of the lasers styling..my 92 just didnt do it for me.

Well, in a away it kinda saves bandwitdh instead of say, starting a new identical thread. However, this thread really belongs in the hangout. Here, it's just a reason to boost your postcount. Ohh..lookie..up to 384 now! :D
 
I like the Talon's better.

I live in Canada, and we only got Mitsubishi last year. People have imported 2g eclipses, but it's mostly Talons up here. I like the look of my 1g Talon the best, of course because it's mine.
 
Let's see:

Cheaper insurance. If you have a 2g Talon and you take the stock spoiler off it has a very Audiish look to it, and the 1g Talon 92-94 has the uniquely better side skirt pieces.

Talon all the way. :thumb:

BTW....people keep talking about about Eagle. LOL. You do realize:

Eagle is to Chrysler as Lexus is to Toyota. It's a different name to mask the same company. So just the name is dead.
 
1st Gens i like talons way more, 2nd gen id say eclipse unless ure going for a sleeper hehehehehe Talons make way better sleepers.
 
1g 92 Talon owns 6 bolt 4 bolt
2g 97-99 Eclipse is the best. Even though my sideskirts are better and the black roof rules. :)
 
I personaly think of it this way the 1G's are kinda like a Heavy weight boxer that is big tuff fast and ugly where as the 2G's are the Light weight boxer's that are more looks than brawn.
 
I like the styling on the 97+ Talon much better than the 97+ Eclipse. I just can't take that tacky aftermarket looking fake supra spoiler on the back of the car. Sorry guys, it's just not my thing at all. The 97+ Talon Owns...

:confused: It looks nothing like the Supra spoiler.
 
I think they're pretty similar, only the supra one is a little higher.

Ummm....aren't the 1G's lighter? And don't both cars have basically the same engine? :confused:
 
I do like the front end of the 2G Talons better, but that back end (in my humble opinion) is about as good looking as a train wreck. I like the idea that someone mentioned about painting the tail lights on the back. I bet that would improve it alot.
 
I have a 95 GSX and I'm about to purchace a 91 Talon TSI AWD. I think Talons are nicer to a degree, I think 97+ Eclipses are nicer, but they are done over and over again. I want different year talon body parts on this TSI I'm getting!!!! I'll stab you in the heart with my TALON!
 
Eclipses are too common. Just like civics. I'm sick of them. I plan on crushing any civic that gets in my way, and i'll do the same to any eclipse when i'm done with my car.

TALONS ROCK!!!!!!!!!!
 
i have two talons and would never take an eclipse over them. eclipses are way too overdone around here and they are all riced out beyond belief. all the talons i see are nice and clean. i have a 96esi and a 98tsiawd. i like the 96 front end better so i put in on my 98. looks cool 96 fron 98 spoiler. anyone wanna trade for my 98 front haha. talons are much more stand-outish
