No, starion I believe was the conquest

Eagle talon, Mitsubishi eclipse and dodge laser were a different thing (but all 3 of those were the same)

I don’t think the laser was AWD, the Eagle Talon was. It would break, but it was the precursor to the EVOlution. That car dominated street performance in the early 2000’s and made Subaru really up their game, which wasn’t as substantial, ended up being more advertising than performance.
The Mopar-Mitsubishi alliance was Much better than Ford-Mazda, and Chevrolet-Isuzu in product/technologic development. The older 2.2 turbo of the Challenger (that shall not be referred to!) that developed into the laser comes to mind. Seemed to compete VERY WELL against Ford’s 302 V8.
