Pretty close Its Gran Tourismo Omologato, which means Grand Touring Homologated, which in normal english means the Authentic Grand Tourning Machine. Also Jon, the lx models were not just 4-cylinders, the hatchbacks and notchbacks came in 5.0 versions as well. The interior isnt much different than the gt's either, its pretty much identical. Oh yeah and the lx's are faster too
