Japanese Home Market Models

***This section is in progress. Attempting to verify some items.

There seems to be a fair interest in what the trim levels where in the Japanese market. These are as follows:

G - A base model package lacking power steering, power windows and air conditioning. Did come with a radio (AM/FM only). These are rumored to have had to rump guards on the on the sides of the cars. Steel wheels were standard.

Australian Home Market Models

There were two models available in the Australian market, the turbo II and Sports.

Turbo II

ABS (standard)
Cruise control (standard)
Sunroof (standard)
Headlight washer squirters (optional)
Limited Slip Differential (optional)

Sports

Limited run of around 250 models based on the series 4 chassis.
