White leather upholstery with red Bicentennial accents and piping provides a distinctive contrast, while simulated rosewood woodgrain appliques add warmth to the dashboard and interior trim. Power-adjustable front seats, power windows, power door locks, and dual exterior mirrors contribute to an easygoing ownership experience.
