Why is the EV still not available with AWD? It was a notable omission on the Niro, but on this even more SUV-y Kona it makes even less sense.Yes, I know that FWD with snow tires>AWD with all seasons, but most people don't know or care. Fast as hell, but super uncomfortable to drive on the streets where I live with all the broken pavement and potholes. But that interest waned since everyone in my peer group wanted an Integra with a GSR motor. I once wanted a 94 Acura Integra, as Acura’s was all the rage in the 90’s. All the imports didn’t do anything for me. All so boring and small.Īlways did love seeing 80’s and 90’s Cadillac Fleetwoods and Lincoln Town Cars cruising on by however. I’m a product of the 80’s and 90’s and although I grew up around many 80’s and 90’s cars, I couldn’t stand looking at them. My name is deceiving, I’m not some old fart defending the classics here, but a young guy that didn’t grow up around those tanks sadly.

Not all were good cars obviously, but the luxury full size RWD Fords and GM vehicles were cool and rode so buttery smooth that they put many modern vehicles to shame in ride quality and road isolation with their body on frame design. With all the issues of the mid-late 70’s malaise era American cars, they at least had presence.
Nothing really today on the road truly makes people do a double take. Driving that car makes you feel important, and special. Opening one of those doors takes some strength, because my 79 Mark V is a tank. They all mostly feel cheap inside and look bland as heck compared a late 70’s Ford product. In addition to the Power Moonroof, a T-Roof Convertible option was offered in 1978, with tinted removable glass panels over the front seat area.Who cares about how great MPG’s modern vehicles get, or how safe they are. A power sunroof became available in 1969, and the glass panel design was added in 1974. A factory sunroof was first offered on the Thunderbird in 1960, and was manually operated. The Moonroof was a $691 option on the 1979 Thunderbird, and about 8 percent of the cars built were equipped with this feature. The sun shade panel can be manually opened or closed by hand, but it opens automatically if closed when the Moonroof is opened, and remains in the open position when the glass panel is closed. The sun shade is covered with material to match the interior headliner. Control between sun visors on right side of picture opens and closes panel, and an additional sun shade panel is provided to completely block exterior light if desired. It is possible they were built using leftover stock.Ībove: View looking up from inside a Heritage model-Power Moonroof option with Rose-colored tinted glass panel that lets interior occupants see out, but blocks much of the sun's glare.
