The premier was the first car that I confused the digital dash in. I always thought it was a pretty swanky car, it was a Renault wasn't it?

I had a 99 Intrepid as a company sled with the 2.7.  200 HP with like 100 ft lbs of torque in a pretty big car.  It would pull right to redline if you kept your foot planted though and actually handled pretty well for what was around at the time.  I put 120 K on it and it was a reliable appliance.

How many different manufacturers were covered by the eagle nameplate?  AMC, Renault, Mitsubishi, Chrysler is all I can remember.

I imagine there are still plenty of Talon TSI floating around in 30/40 something's garage as unfinished projects, destined to someday be embued with a motor that doesn't instill meme-worthy references to it's crankshaft. 

Hey now... Oh wait, I'm almost 50 so I'm safe.

Hoping they got rid of that football team in Philadelphia.

My mother had a 91 Dodge Monaco (same as the Eagle Premier). It was odd in countless ways, but manged to be supremely comfortable in a way that only French cars can be. I didn't hate it, but then I didn't have to work on it either. It had a penchant for eating transmissions, which eventually led to it being sold off to make way for something less strange and troublesome - a 97 VW Passat GLS VR6 5MT.

There probably aren't many Stanley Steamers on Craigslist either...time marches on.

You could probably find a Cleveland Steamer on there though.
