That little box between the seats >won't hold much. David, Great choice. I love my Aero. You're right. The earlier 9000s do have a great glovebox. If that's a need (it was for me!), then find a '93 Aero. Last year without a passenger side airbag. I spent close to two years looking for the right '93. I was wondering if I could find some >used rear seats from another 9000 that would work better. > Yes, it could be done, but the leather isn't going to be a good match. You'll notice the difference. I HAVE heard of people adapting the hold-down brackets from regular 9k back seats to the Aero. >The transmission was a little notchy, but I'm used to that. Not nearly as notchy as the 900s. You'll get used to it ;-) and the power and amazing torque will be worth it. The earlier Aeros will be much more reasonably priced, and they'll have a glovebox. Expect $13-16k for a decent 5-speed '93. Paul 93 9000 Aero
