A sport coupe's sleek exterior exacts its price from the interior. Allof that cool, swoopy sheetmetal defines a passenger cell that is nothing
short of overstuffed when occupied by the maximum of four riders. It's
a problem that's inherent in all small sport coupes. The ideal solution:
operate the Talon as a spacious two-seater and use the back seat as a rear-mounted
package shelf. Front seat legroom, however, is plentiful.
The interior itself is as purposeful as the flight deck of the space
shuttle. The instrument panel reads at a glance, and the various controls
and switches are well lighted for nighttime operations. Everything needed
to operate the car is within the driver's reach, yet there's no appearance
of clutter.
Standard equipment quickly ratchets up along with the price for uplevel
renderings, but buyers of even the base cars can expect sport instrumentation
that includes a tachometer, speed-sensitive power steering, sport wheel
covers, tilt steering column, and dual remote (as distinct from power-operated)
outside mirrors.
Other important standards include dual airbags and side impact door
