In 1990 the Eagle Talon was first introduced with a body style that was later carried into the year 1991 and then changed from 1992 through 1994. The two styles are referred to as “1ga’s” and “1gb’s”. The 1g represents the first generation of the Eagle Talon which refers to any year between 1990 and 1994. The “a” refers to the first design that was used in 1990 and 1991. The “b” refers to the second design that was used from 1992 to 1994.
Eagle Talons had the most diverse styling compared to the Eclipse and the Laser. The 1990 had slightly different bumpers than the 91’s but that is the only noticeable difference between the two years. The only difference between the turbo and non turbo model, aside from the engine, was a few decals, a bulged hood (although all the 2.0L engines required this bulged hood, only the 1.8L engines did not), different body trim, driving lights, and a factory boost gauge in the dash. Once 1992 came around, all of the talons had the same body style, taillights, headlights, and side panels regardless of what model. The only difference between the turbo models and the non turbo models were obvious changes like the engine, presence of an intercooler and turbo badging. In 1990 the base models did not have fog lights, only the turbo models did. Another obvious change after 1992 rolled was the new style headlights, taillights, and rear spoiler.
