A piece of DSM history unknown to most, well, it was for me anyhow when I found it!Automobile Maniac 11-16-2005, 08:54 PM Looks like the Talon TSI and Eclipse GSX model names were going to be switched right before they were released as shown from this 1989 issue of MT. Or, the magazine just plain F'd up. Anyway's, just thought I would share. Sharing is caring. http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/5807/eclipsetsiandtalongsx3ve.jpg AbsoluteGTR 11-16-2005, 08:59 PM Hey good find! It doesn't sound right like that..but who knows that probably is photochopped! Automobile Maniac 11-16-2005, 09:04 PM Negative, I got it right from MT's website the other day. :biggrin: http://motortrend.com/roadtests/classic/112_0509_archive/ defiancy 11-16-2005, 09:07 PM Dude. It pretty clearly says 1989. Also who would go through the trouble to photochop something like that? Like someone spent his hard time on switching the Tsi and GSX label on a 1989 issue of Motortrend? What the hell would the point me on that? I would venture it's a printing mistake on the part of the magazine. Black97GST 11-16-2005, 10:37 PM yeah, I would say that its a typo. l_eclipse_l 11-17-2005, 12:49 AM yeah, I would say that its a typo. It's been known to happen from time to time. But, it is also possible that they switched the names before the cars were actually produced. Nice find either way. AbsoluteGTR 11-17-2005, 09:32 AM FIne Whatever!! LOL It was just a suggestion! SORRY importaudihaus 11-18-2005, 05:08 PM AbsoluteGTR 11-18-2005, 07:18 PM :iagree: LOL Gsx_hooptie 11-19-2005, 03:14 PM I'd venture typo, but good find. Eagle already had other cars with the tsi badge, and Mitsu was issuing a gs model, making gsx seem sorta appropriate. My DSM didn't turn me into an alcoholic, but it helped. vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
