Replying to: wwest (Apr 18, 2008 1:27 pm) That may be what the article said, but here is a scan of the original sales literature that was available when the car was new. The first column is for the XL, second is for Touring, third is for XLS and the last column is for Limited. Notice that VSC and Traction is not shown on the first and second columns and shown as optional on the last two. The other link goes to a scan of the safety part of the window sticker. If the car were equipped with Traction Control, they would surely have listed it with the safety features. http://www.wbcoxco.com/traction1.jpg http://www.wbcoxco.com/sticker1.jpg
