Toyota Talon

TOYOTA TALON The Talon is an inexpensive and rather boring little SUV. The designers’ image of sharp styling was pretty much standard fare for SUVs, but this is what makes it ideal for riggers and wheelmen. It’s boring and blends in with a crowd of other vehicles. It’s a little bigger than most sedans, but with a low-slung roof to look very sedan-like. Smaller than the big SUVs, it is still thick-bodied and has enough similar features to other craft in the market that it can be mistaken for them. The taillights match up well with the Ford Tauren; the front quarter panels are like smaller versions of the Jeep Charon; the headlights could be a Dodge; the rear window and trunk a Eurocar.
Underneath is a generally underpowered motor system that makes Talons that have been “sharpened,” as their tuners say, true sleepers. They look mundane but have the heart of a racecar hidden beneath. The problem is that the back-end work tends to be a little pricier, since not many people want to tune their Talon. Skilled mechanics are a necessity, and the best work is done with a rigger jumped in and giving feedback on the changes and feel as they’re made. Work on a Talon feels almost more like surgery than tuning, with the patient telling you when the implant feels just right.
