Cool

Yes, there is a difference! I believe the touring models were 2 tone paint and they had an adjustable ride switch.

I think you are right too, but by special rims, do you mean butt ugly rims? Htey're pretty bad if you ask me. Also, for some reason, it seems like the bottom half of the tail light are darker, any body else notice? Maybe its just me.

The touring rims are hideous in my opinion. The first time I saw a touring model I thought someone just stuck the emblem on there. It looks kinda out of place IMO.

I have a 95 Touring edition, and I totally agree on the rims. That's the thing I dislike most about my car. Mine did not come with a wing...was this an option? I've owned this car since Dec.

I don't have an emblem nor do i have a wing. But i do have all the options, power button, traction control...etc

Special rims?? ARe you talking about the aluminum rims (non chrome) ?? Their not too bad, better than most rims out there for a 95.

About the suspention, how do you tell if its the sportier/stiffer one compared to a soft and smooth one? Does the power button have anything with the suspention?
