1997 189,086
1998 157,139
1999 161,844

with that being said there were more eclipses made each year than the whole 2g talon run...total talons made by the way was 199,321(1g and 2g)
the only reason ppl may think that the talon is a knockoff eclipse is because f&f...they used an eclipse instead of a talon.
thanks. the reason im doing the eclipse front deal is because mitsu's werent sold in canada till 01...hence you very rarely see 1 or 2g eclipses up here let alone a talon. I light put tsi skirts on it, but thats all, stock bodied FTW!!!

I will agree with you that the Talon is a lot rarer and still to this day harder to find and your right you don't see them to often, but they still shared the same platform with the Eclipse. So other than some cosmetic differences the Talon is the sister of the Eclipse Just like the Grand Am is the sister of the Alero.
