A GXL would have electric windows, buttons on the console for the adjustable suspension, tilt steering wheel, rear wiper and a sunroof for starters. You could have a sunroof on a GTU as it was optional.

I think only the GTUs had the aluminum hood and they are really rare.

^ All correct except for only S4 GXL's came with adjustable suspension, a 90 S5 would not.

You can't determine the car's original trim by evaluating the hundreds of parts that could have been swapped over the last 23 years by the previous owners. I don't see why it matters what the car was, but if you want to know then just ask your local dealership research the VIN.

I don't agree. Here are are a couple of pics from my 90 GXL which I have owned since new. I have the sales brochure around somewhere.
