ThePlymouth X2S is the concept vehicle for the originalDiamond Star Motors triplet vehicles, theEagle Talon, thePlymouth Laser, and theMitsubishi Eclipse. It is nearly identical to the 1st generation DSMs, except for a dual exhaust which exits out the rear bumper, and more aggressive-looking body panels. A concept convertible X2S was produced along with the coupe, but only the coupe made it into production. TheMitsubishi EclipseSpyder was later added to the line-up in 1996.
