The gauge cluster was from Pontiac. Interesting.

Check out the manual air bladder lumbar system. So luxurious.

Despite what it says on paper and the AWD system, these were far less impressive mechanically in 1992 than the GN was in the mid-80s. The 4.3 turbo was not built to the same standards as the 3.8 turbo, either. But still, these are very interesting vehicles.

Air to water intercooler on the 4.3L. Like a WRC car. Or a Toyota Celica GT-4.

That inflatable lumbar looks identical to the one in my Elise. Maybe that's another GM parts bin part they were able to capitalize on :)
