One name, many different cars. Choose a generation, then a documented year and version.
Calendar launches and U.S. model years differ: the original debuted in 1989 and reached the U.S. as a 1990 model. Market and transmission remain explicit on each profile.
This is a growing history. A generation listed here does not mean every year or trim is documented. Each profile identifies its engine, transmission and market; available driving models are labeled separately.
