aluminum-alloy lacy-spoke wheels, air conditioning with automatic climate
control, power windows/door locks/heated mirrors, message center with trip
computer, burled walnut wood applique, leather seats, leather-wrapped steering
wheel and gear shift, power-tilt telescopic steering column, driver's seat
