A small addition: The 100 CC was the "normal" model - not base, but
the one that most buyers chose. The 100 CD had more equipment, like 4
power windows, ABS brakes, fog lights in bumper, cruise control etc.
The 100 CS was the "sporty" version - basically a 100 CD with sport
seats, smoked taillights and some more stuff.

Remember that automatic transmission, AC and all that is not normal
equipment on euro cars. The 100 in the mid 80's was available with
many engines - 1.8 (90 hp) and 2.0 (105 hp) 4-cylinder carburator
engine, 2.0 (115 hp) and 2.2 (138 hp) I5, and the turbo 2.2 I5 (170
hp).
