Subject: Re: 2 things I miss from my older style 900


I've never driven a NG900/9-3.. but in addition to the points below, here are a couple of things I love about my "classic" 900 (1988, 3 door): 1) the "push-out" rear side windows (is there a proper name for them?) on the 2 door sedans and 3 door models. They are the feature I'd miss the most in the NG900s; besides the styling of course. I never understood why these windows weren't carried on to the NGs. 2) the cool looking air vents on the rear quarters of the old 3 door models. They really complete the distinctive looks of the classic 900s in my mind. Do the vents have any _functional_ purpose? I can't find one.
