Review written on 5/1958.

Philadelphia Motors just released a new Sedan called the Eagle Diesel. We've been waiting to see this vehicle in person. And now that we have, we can make our opinions known. Is it truly better than the class leader? The Republique. Or is even the lowly Edinburgh better than it? Read to find out more!


The first stop with the Philadelphia Motors Eagle Diesel was the track. Where this Sedan performed rather well. We found its 102 hp @ 1899RPMs 4976 cc V4 engine to give a decent response without being overly powerful. Although it's not class leading the Eagle Diesel is better than most of its competition on the track. We were able to get the Eagle Diesel up to a top speed of 92 mph and hit a 23.170s 0 to 60 mph time. If that wasn't enough with the 227 lb-ft of torque will melt the tires off the rims. When hooked to a trailer, this baby will haul an amazing 637 lbs! When it comes right down to it, the Eagle Diesel is for good or worse, average, well maybe slightly above average for a Sedan. The good thing about the Philadelphia Motors Eagle Diesel is that it's actually handles better than your typical Sedan. Its cornering abilities surpass the norm. So if it's weaving through cars in traffic or trying to do a lap around our track. The Eagle Diesel is a good choice.


The Philadelphia Motors Eagle Diesel's interior is well designed. The seats have enough support to get you over a long trip, and the material qualities, while not amazing, are more than adequate. Many optional features in other vehicles are standard here. This leads to an overall nice experience inside the Eagle Diesel.

The Philadelphia Motors Eagle Diesel is one of the most spacious vehicles in its class. With 41 cu-ft of cargo and passenger room you should never have any issues with transportation. Even if you have to move an elephant...

The Philadelphia Motors Eagle Diesel has just enough labor of love in it to make it better than most other vehicles. Even though it came off an assembly line you can tell that the employees at Philadelphia Motors love their job. This is reflected in the quality of material and workmanship used to finish the product.


I imagine it'll be rare to find a Philadelphia Motors Eagle Diesel in repair shops or even junk yards. These things are well built with quality parts. And that will show in the long run.

Whether or not the Philadelphia Motors Eagle Diesel is an energy company conspiracy or not is up for debate. What is certain is the Eagle Diesel awful fuel mileage of 18.6 mpg will certainly drive up energy stocks!

While talking with engineers at Philadelphia Motors we found out that the Eagle Diesel was designed to be nuclear bomb proof. While we don't really know if that is bluster, we do sort believe them. Specially when it ran through the concrete brick during crash testing without leaving a dent on the hood.


I was happy with the time I spent in the Philadelphia Motors Eagle Diesel. This car is truly magnificent. I think future generations will look back at this vehicle and think, "I wish I owned one of these." It is absolutely one of the best Sedan you can buy. An instant classic that others in the segment will be compared to. I wish I could spend more time with the Eagle Diesel but it is time for them to take it away. I believe I might go buy one myself.
