Digital dash

I was wondering how many of you have a digital dash and why some cars have it and some don't?

It was an option for top of the line GL and GXE models.

my car is an 86 GLE. It has digital dash, drive comp, etc. It is only on the GLE and GL I think. One way you can tell is also looking at the paintjob (SE didn't come in two tone, GL and GLE did)

if it is an 87 or 88 the color scheme might be different. For the 85 and 86 I think the only ones who came with those amenities were the GL and GLE, which came in two-tone from the factory(maybe your car has been repainted)

If thats the case then it was probably just a luxury model bought in a single tone color. one of the few as far as I know

do they have leather seats and such. I think the two tone ones might have been the high end luxury models. Mine is two tone and has all the amenities that came that year (leather seats, digital dash, digital A/C, Power seats, Keyless entry, etc.)

I had an 84 1st gen with digidash. I really have to say i was not a big fan of it, but it was kind of cool. Wish it had looked more like the Z31 digidash.

so you got all the stuff that breaks easily...i am guessing adjustable suspension too

i think power seats, power mirrors, power windows, over drive (on AT's), were standard options....then you get into other options thats were standard or not because it was a floater or not...if i rember correctly non floater standards were adjustable suspension on GXE and keyless entry, i rember something about climate control not being an option in floaters because in panama they figured the a/c would be on all the time or something along those lines

It's just electronic adjustment to the strut dampening rate.
