First off, sorry if this is in the wrong section. But exactly what yrs are dsm for the eclipse and talons? is it just the first gens or wha?

 

DSM = Diamond Star Motors, which was the Mitsu/Dodge partnership. Later renamed Mitsubishi Motor Manufacturing of America in 1995. So first and second gen are usually referred to as DSMs.

 

They are all pretty much referred to as DSM's... they started in 1990-1998 (Eagle went out of business then), the Laser's if I remember correctly stopped in 1993-1994!

Eagle: 1990-1998
Eclipse: 1990-Current
Laser: 1990-1994 (I think!)

Hope that helps!

 

The current Eclipse is not a DSM. Only 90-99s are cause they are the only ones that have the 4g63 (minus n/t 2g's). Kinda doesn't make sense, but thats how it is.

 

3rd gen i belive is when they went with the big slow v6 models? 1st and 2nd gen are pretty much the only ones worth buying in my opinion.

 

agreed. 3rd gens are turds. I love the 1991s, have the better tranny plus a 6bolt and the old school flip up head lights.

the 3000gts and stealths are dsm as well because they were part of that relationship.
