Wasn't this also the first 'modern' car to no longer have vent windows?

Probably a GTS or Turbo trim, given that it has carbon ceramic brakes.

How can you tell it has ceramics?......by the yellow calipers? It does have some massive rotors.

Yes. Porsche, Mercedes, and BMW all use Gold/Yellow calipers for CCBs. Porsche uses White calipers for their unique PSCBs, and Acid Green calipers on hybrid models.

That one's going to frustrate me because I recognize it and should know what it is, but I don't. I googled my best guess and was wrong, so will leave this one alone.

We go on with a "world car" from one of the Big Three, sold under many names in many markets from its debut 1985 until very last new reincarnation bulit in 2016 (in Uzbekistan)...
