One other interesting thing is what appears to be an afterthought gas cap on the left rear render top. They must have moved the gas tank into the fender behind the rear tire and hollowed out the regular under floor spot for a foot well.

I seem to remember reading a review of the car by one of the test drivers of the day. IIRC, it was not terribly complementary -- or politically correct. Acceleration was something like driving a bus while pulling a train & handling was like trying to drag a 300 lb date around a dance floor when you both wanted to lead.
