Default What do we think of the Platinum Edition?

I've got a line on a beater Platinum Edition '96 sedan but I can't find any reliable specifications on it. How does it compare to an R? Was the performance there or was it just luxury?

Is about the same as the Turbo but had the opel paint and factory fogs in the Bumper.
There was only about 1,200 of them brought to the U.S. for our market.

I like them. But getting Rare.
If it were me I would buy it.

I like them quite a bit. If the deal is right, buy it.

To bring closure to the thread:



I guess I'm the proud new owner of a '96 Platinum Edition!

Just what I need - Another project.

I saw this over at Matthews... congrats... I'd love to be in that position. How about some photos and particulars to really make me green?
