is an
optiona~
new-for-'99 feature to help
the driver more acutely tailor the position
of the steering wheel to their needs. In con-
junction with the manual tilt feature, the dri-
ver is able to better create his or her own
optimum driving position that is not only
comfortable, but commanding. (Available
feature on coupe and convertible only.)
Other interior enhancements over its predecessor
include a
LOWfR DOOR SILL HflGHT
for easier entry
and exit, as we[ as wider footwe[s for additional foot
room (3.1" on the driver side, 6.3" on the passenger side).
In the coupe, access to the rear cargo area is also
improved over the fourth-generation design. The
new hatch glass and rear body are molded into a
single piece, which opens out to the rear corners of
the car. The hardtop and convertible also have a
decklid that extends out to the corners, offering the
same benefit.
