It featured a stainless steel roof, air suspension, the first memory power seats, automatic starting for the engine and every other comfort and convenience feature available at GM at the time, even small bottles of perfume. There were serious difficulties with the air suspension. Some owners found in cheaper to have the system removed and replaced with conventional coil springs.
