fuel level, coolant temperature and oil pressure dials in the gauge cluster, the seats
are covered with a higher grade of upholstery fabric, and the floor is carpeted.
An AM/FM radio is standard equipment in the XS, and a sliding rear window is optional.
The radio can be added to the S, but only if you order a rear bumper as well, a
peculiar combination that must have something to do with simplifying the assembly
process.
When it comes to choosing extras, the XS buyer is clearly better off. He or she can
select a 4-speaker AM/FM/cassette sound system, or air conditioning, or the sliding
rear window. Better yet, all three can be combined in a package that saves the buyer
some $300 when compared to buying these extra comforts piecemeal. The S customer is
restricted to adding air conditioning and the rear bumper-AM/FM radio option.
Unless you go wild with dealer-installed accessories (there are floor mats and no
doubt other add-ons available at that level) your Hombre will cost no more than our
fully-equipped XS tester. At less than $13,500 it's a real bargain. Next Page
