they are the same car with a different front and rear bumper and different spoiler. From what i hear the 4g63 engine is a pretty good engine. Just look for the usual oil leaks and smoke coming out the exhaust. Also check the oil and coolent levels, brakes, and for rust. Take it for a test drive!

Get yourself the Mitsubishi GSX (2nd Generation). If I were you I would try to find the GSX trim that had the LSD. It makes a difference in tight turns.
I would avoid the Tsi for these reasons:
-The 4G63 powerplant and transmission is shared between the Mitsu and Chrysler, but which technicians would you rather have working on a Mitsu engine?
-The Talon's roof and side mirrors are painted a gloss black. My brother had one and the paint on the roof and especially on the side mirrors wore down to the base from environmental pollutants. The Eagle's all seemed to have this problem that appeared after the warantee wears out.
-I liked the Talon's front bumper, but completely dislike the rear spoiler.
Just my $0.02
