Eagle was a branch of the Chrysler and was formed after the buyout of the AMC "American Motors Corporation"...and yeah I was just wondering why Eagle was in Imports?

The taillights are changed a little bit but other than that, they're exactly the same. Look at that link from the other thread.

..Yeah I know but technically it's still a domestic.

how is it a domestic? because it was sold (NOT built) by Chrysler?

if that's the case, then it's still an "import". Chrysler is technically a German automaker.

even then, they paid someone else for them

Also, the Plymouth Laser is basically the same vehicle as the eclipse/talon. Just I think some Lasers came with FWD turbo option and the other two didnt. Im not positive.

The bodies on the eclipse/talon/laser were made by chrysler and the engines were exclusively japanese.

.....Talons have the FWD Turbo, simply TSI and they had talons with chrysler engines as well as lasers.

Talon with a chrysler engine? No

Laser with a Chrysler engine? Yes, it was a 2.2L engine available with a non intercooled turbo engine also. Made from 84 to 86. Also, the Laser was a 'Chrysler Laser' back then not Plymouth and they are completely different cars. No parts are interchangable.

the base model talons came with the chrysler 420a.

and no laser ever came with a 2.2 liter wtf are you talking about

the laser only came with either 3 of these engines :

1.8 L Mitsubishi 4G37 I4
2.0 L Mitsubishi 4G63 I4
2.0 L Mitsubishi 4G63T I4

Actually look up a 'chrysler laser' most people dont know what they are. Its basically a dodge daytona. That im postitive on as my friend owns one and ive spent most of my car life around those cars. I posted what years they were available but I guess you didnt look.

About the 420a idk, im not really into those. I will admit I was wrong on that.

I know, it was made mainly to target the older crowd. The daytona was suited for the younger enthusiasts.

how is it meant to target the older crowd when it looks identical to a daytona? only the badges are different. you could get the same engine options etc.

Mainly the change was in 86. The daytona was directly influenced by carroll shelby and thus the daytona C/S (competition series). The laser only offered the XE and XT model. The daytona had a wrap around spoiler the laser didnt. The daytona had a bigger swaybar, brakes, not to mention the laser always had a different wheel package. Typically, the laser came with more luxuries and the daytona was usually more bare.

Allpar.com has more information.

all you need to know about the 420a is that its a piece of shit.

its a chrysler engine also used in dodge neons.

its the only engine use in any mitsubishi car that had headgasket problems.

4g63t is the way to go in the world of DSM or just get a 3000gt vr4

Typical... lol the 2.2L and 2.5L chrysler engines in the 80s dodges that im into have headgasket problems. Luckily you can change one in a couple hours. They are very easy to change.

eagles are mitsubishi's in every aspect...No sir. Talon's are Mitsibushis. But there's more to the Eagle than the Talon. I own a first-gen Vision ESi, and I don't believe it's an "import", though it was the only first-gen LH targeted to compete with European cars (i.e. BMW 5 series).

You might be confusing the car AMC Eagle with the brand Eagle, which was a short-lived (88-98) Chrysler division that served as a dumping ground for cars cloned from all over the place.

88-89 Eagle Medallion = Renault 21
88-92 Eagle Premier = Renault 25
89-96 Eagle Summit = Mitsubishi Mirage
90-98 Eagle Talon = Mitsubishi Eclipse
93-97 Eagle Vision = Dodge Intrepid

Not exactly. The re-badged (Chrysler) Eagle Vision was not a clone of anything, especially not a 'Trep. The Vision was part of Chrysler's first generation L/H platform series vehicles that included the Intrepid, Concorde, LHS, and the New Yorker. Those vehicles were manufactured and marketed concurrently, i.e. 1993-1997. The Eagle Vision TSi was the diamond of the first-gens; it had no peer. The last Visions were made in '97 (Chrysler 300s are in reality 2nd gen Visions), while the 'Treps continued on several years further.
