Chrysler's LH-series of sedans has redefined the traditional American sedan. The Chrysler Concorde emphasizes the luxury portion of the equation, while the Dodge Intrepid has mid-America squarely within its gunsight grille. Eagle's Vision is designed to appeal to those of us who want a dash of flair and sophistication in our family haulers. It is the most sporting and European of the trio, with a distinctive look all its own. However, if Chrysler's sales charts are any evidence, there are few takers for this recipe in the marketplace.
Product planners have given enthusiast drivers a good reason to buy a Vision in 1996. The Vision TSi is equipped with a new driver-controlled, four-speed shiftable transmission called Autostick. An auto manual transmission similar to Porsche's Tiptronic, Autostick allows the transmission to operate in two modes. It will operate in a regular "drive" mode, with the transmission automatically shifting the gears, or the driver can manually shift the transmission with the Autostick engaged. Drop the stick into the lowest shifter position, and then flick the stick to the left for downshifts and to the right for upshifts, all without lifting your foot off the accelerator.
Autostick is an Eagle exclusive for the first six months of 1996, and then the transmission will appear as an option on the Dodge Intrepid ES. The feature is too good to restrict to just one car, but Chrysler will use it to build brand awareness for the Vision. We think that something else is needed to differentiate the Vision from the other LH-sedans, because once the Dodge gets Autostick, the Vision will likely fall back into sales oblivion.
It's too bad the Vision doesn't sell, because it's a great car. Perhaps the jutting grille with its big bird's beak emblem puts potential customers off. Maybe the Eagle division, formed in 1988, hasn't developed the brand image necessary to move the merchandise. Could be that people don't think car' when told to drop by their local Jeep-Eagle dealership for a test drive. No matter. Eagle has been heavily advertising the Vision to get the car noticed. It seems that pitchman Greg Kinnear has been getting more mileage out of these ads than Eagle has.
In addition to Autostick, Vision receives some updating from Chrysler for 1996. ESi models get 16-inch wheels, and the TSi gets chrome rims. Headlamp illumination has been improved, and new seat fabrics are found inside. New colors, improved stereos and a quieter interior sum up the changes for 1996.
Vision offers rakish styling, a long list of standard features, and more interior room than all of its competition. It handles very much like its LH brethren, which is to say, extraordinarily well for a big sedan, and the TSi's Autostick feature is sure to stir up a few additional sales in 1996. We think the Vision is a logical choice for sedan buyers who want a little pizzazz in their daily commute, and sales types are likely to wheel and deal more aggressively than the boys at the Dodge or Chrysler dealer to get the slow-selling Vision onto highways and into driveways.
Eagle Vision Tsi Owners and Future
Buyers Beware. This was a great and
fun car when we first got it. Slowly
but surely it will start falling apart
on you. Serious electrical problems
everywhere. Door locks, trunk, alarm,
ignition switch. Stalling. Paint
peeling on any plastic areas, bumpers,
rear window panels. Good Luck. :-(

When the tempeture gets 50 degrees or lower, the steering rake make a grinding noise. The struts are already worn out at 80k miles. And there's too much play in the brake pedal.

For 13 years, this car has been reliable and extremely fun to drive.

Good Car
Definitely a good choice to go with the
3.5L engine. Has needed some major work
including air conditioner condenser and
a new rack & pinion. After 83k miles,
still has good struts and the interior
shows little wear. Put higher
performance tires, Bosch Platinum +4
Spark Plugs, and a K&N Air Filter on the
car to give it a little more
get-up-and-go. All-in-all it is a great
car.

1995 Eagle Vision
"Really great car"
I love this car. I have never had a moments' problem after I had the oxygen sensor fixed when I first bought the car 5 years ago. It starts in the winter fast, it warms up fast, it drives great in all weather. I had never heard of an Eagle before I bought this one.
This car has given me far fewer problems than all the Chryslers and Fords I owned in the past.
At this rate, I may never own another car-this one is like the Ever Ready Bunny-it just goes and goes.
