Top 15 Affordable Sports Cars of the 90s
Eagle Talon/Mitsubishi Eclipse/Plymouth Laser
These vitamin-packed triplets rocked the affordable sports car market with they hit the market for the 1990 model year. Mitsubishi may be a conservative automaker today, but back in the day, it was the mastermind behind the Diamond-Star cars’ turbocharged and intercooled, 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine. It developed 190 horsepower in front-wheel drive versions, and 195 hp in the AWD variants. Because yes, the Talon TSi AWD, Eclipse GSX and Laser RS Turbo AWD were hot to trot with their four-wheel drivetrains. The second-generation Talon and Eclipse were just as potent when they arrived in 1995 with 210 hp, but their exterior design wasn’t as seductive. The Talon left the market in 1998, while the Eclipse survived for another two generations.
