Which do people like better Talon's or Eclipse's

[FrostbyteTalon]

I've now owned two talons a 91 NT and now my '95 tsi AWD, and I must say talons all the way. However, i plan on switching to the 97 front bumper, but 97-99 eclipse rear with eclipse tail lights. The 97 talon front bumper cover OWNZ!!! And I like how the talon side skirts say DOHC TURBO, its clean!

not to pick on this particular post but, how can you say TALON ALL THE WAY and then say, oh...but...with the eclipse rear. doesnt that mean you like both cars? thats the samed as an eclipse with a talon front bumber right? we are all driving the same freakin cars with minor differences.

Ha, you're right... I guess I never thought about it like that. Well I guess I like the ass of the eclipse but the face of the talon.... if you will. Ok well how about this, I like them both, but if I had to choose, talon!

When i was first introduced to the talons I called them generic eclipse's. Today I realise that there are many advantages to owning a talon. Insurance premiums are a lot lower, the usual rice boy does not know what the #### you have under your hood and you do not have something everyone else has... You have a collectors item! They still make eclipses and the 2g's eclipse's are easy to find everywhere. But find a clean 2g Talon Tsi AWD 5 speed for sale...

Like i mentioned in a post before, I have owned both cars and I like them both. finding a specific talon has always been harder to do than an eclipse because there was less of a demand for talons therefore less made. Thats one of the reasons why they are no longer made. as far as collectors items...I dont know I still see talons going for alot less than a comparable eclipse.

This just a personal opinion, and not the opinion of anyone else...

I like 1G Eclipse and Talon AWD's and wouldn't care which one I got(as long as it was silver or black)

But 2G, Eclipse owns IMHO. I love the front of the 97+ eclipses, and especially the turbo spoiler on them.

I'm a huge huge fan of the Supra, and it brings a tear to my eye seeing it... *sniffle*

97+ Eclipse GSX is my dream DSM...

98TsiAwd is right I see more eclipses around Raleys then I can find Talons in Sacramento. Most people like eclipses because they've never heard of Talons and also because they went out of business so all you see on tv is Mitsubishi. An Eclipse is nice, meaning shit load better than hondas, but comparing the two I like Talons better. The name is better, to me, and the spoiler for 97-98 is perfect. I've had a turbo Talon and n/t eclipse for 2 years now and they both got messed up 3 months ago. The Talon needs to recover from crankwalk and the Eclipse just needs a new tiebar. I finished the Talon first, cause I want to sell the Eclipse and be rid of it.
