Ah, GX is the Canadian GXL (if I remember right). No difference as faar as I kno from the US one. Only difference is the Canadian one has manual seatbelts, and here in America, we are cursed with the damn power assisted seatbelts.

I thought the GX was the canadian version of the 86 Luxury/ 88 SE/89-90 GTU.

In other words strippy with radio

I really wish people would only answer if they know what they are talking about. The GX was the "luxery base" model. Basically, it was the base model with power mirrors, sunroof, better stereo, better carpet, and storage bins. Whether this was only available or not, I'm not sure.

Okay, so I left out a few things, but still basically a stripy model compared to the power windows, LSD, 4 piston brakes of all the other GXL, 'verts, T2s, Etc.

And I have to agree with felix, mouse belts are

Yeah, I wish I could get a hold of a Canadian FC. Found one on eBay that looks nice. Power seatbelts are the devil. My rool bar should be ordered soon, so I can get rid of the ol mouse!!!

Hey Aaron, sorry I ain't as all knowing about Canadian FCs as you. I had read a few posts about the differences, so I gave a disclaimer "If I remember right..." oh well, sorry I pissed you off.

The Canadian GXL (90 version anyways) is the fully loaded, everything of everthing model.

The only things missing is an LSD and aluminum hood.
Has 5 bolt wheels, 4 piston brakes (OHHH YA!!)
AAS, Full leather (The 90+ -not 89- leather interior is DAMN nice) cruise, power sunroof, power locks, windows, alarm, tilt, A/C, P/S, Nice radio with subs and spectrum analyzer, spoiler, blah blah.
2870 lbs! (Mine anyways)

The GX is a much lower trim level... may not even have power windows and such.
