Cool, don't forget lumbar support (on the driver's side, anyway).

That must've been rare, especially given the years of the cars it first came in.

Daimler-chrysler/lancer

just a little fyi.Daimler-chrysler owns freightliner,not international.You can get century class freighshakers with a mod my daimler and it has the mercedes logo all over it,just an interior upgrade.International is in kahoutz with ford,who now builds the f550's and up down in mexico at internationals plant that was moved from canada Also as for mitsubishi motors,dodge is stupid for sharing any ideas because in the mid 80's hyundai started up with a mitsubishi in those ugly hatchbacks(exels?)I worked on them before,junk!But new hyundai's aren't half bad,The tiburon is a bad *** 4 banger,now they offer a v-6 in a car at 3,000 pounds.If I only had the money.BUt nothing is as unique as a rx-7.

Yeah,alot of electronics are produced by mitsu,just like delphi does for u.s.Doesnt mitsu even make tv's or something?Electronics,ok.but the engines left alot to be desired,Like the stealth/3000gt.Like socialism,looked good on paper.But if you neglected those engines in the slightest,they would start getting a little knock here and there.valves start chattering.white smoke pours out.not to mention the exhaust system on them.But they looked good!

Bentley use to use a BMW motor in their cars but that was it. The new Pontiac GTO is a Holden Monero. I love Ferraris to death but if you own a 308, 328, or 348 you really shouldn't brag because they're a huge joke.
