The Eagle series of vehicles was the zenith of accomplishment for AMC. They had taken years of vehicle aquisitions like Studebaker, Hudson, Nash, Rambler, and Jeep and brought them together to make Eagle a success. It was so well done that Chrysler directly adopted the Eagle cab-forward designs for the Chrysler Concorde, Dodge Intrepid, and Plymouth Stratus.

The Eagle Talon tsi was a very good car from that standpoint. Eagle made a coupe, sedan, and wagon under that marquee. Here's a couple of Talon sites for reference:

The real issue is the AWD, You'll pay a higher insurance premium for it, and it will cost more to repair and maintain.
