k ... first of all ...
In 1995 and 1996 Mitsubishi had an old model of the eclipse ... but in 1997 they came out with the more round one ... they kept it until 1999.
However Eagle Talon never took that rounder model and kept the 1995- 1996 model for the future years ... I know this because my dad`s dealership sells the Eclipses an I noticed every single little detail on them
... I can show :
Mitusbishi Eclipse 1997 GSX:
-has a turbo wing ( big one )
-different set of mags
-has rounder shape
-different front headlights
-different back and front bumper ( a little difference in the space )
example:
Mitsubishi Eclipse 1995-1996 GSX:
-has the small wing
-different back and front bumper
-different front headlights
- and the shape might be a little different
Example:
Eagle Talon 1997 TSI:
-has the exact same shape as the Eclipse 1995-1996
-doesnt have the big wing
-basically ... its a copy of the Eclipse 1995-1996 except for the back lights
Example :
Alot of people say that the Talon and the Eclipse are the same cars but its false ... bodywise they are not ... but mechanically yes ... however in 1998 the Eclipse had a different machanical setup ... the placement of the engine was different etc ... Anyways I hope people will now notice the difference
