A V6 Convenience Package ($1185) adds a memory feature for the driver's seat, automatic dimming rear-view mirror, speed and rain-sensitive wipers, and a universal garage-door opener. Opt for V6 Premium Package ($3290) and you get a 12-speaker Alpine Audiophile stereo, premium Nudo leather, 17-inch chrome wheels with P235/50VR17 all-season tires, carpeted floor mats, a cargo net, and other features.

The V6 Sport Package ($1985) comes with P235/50VR17 tires on special wheels, a leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio and cell-phone controls, leather shift knob, and color-keyed bumpers; the Alpine Audiophile stereo can be added at no extra charge.

A Sport V6 model comes with a Getrag five-speed manual transmission and retails for $35,055.

V8 models start at $37,220, and come equipped similarly to the V6 Convenience Package. There's also a V8 Sport Package ($855) and a V8 Premium Package ($2175), both equipped similarly to their V6 analogs, except that the manual transmission is not available with the V8.

New for 2002 is the $735 All-Season package, which combines heated front seats with Advance Trac stability control. The Alpine sound system is offered as a stand-alone option for $575. A power moonroof costs $1005, except on Premium models, where it is a no-cost option.

This includes a hands-free, voice-activated, digital/analog, Motorola Timeport phone (a Sprint PCS plan is required), plus voice-activated news, weather, sports, and stock quotes. A Safety and Security Services (SOS) button summons emergency roadside assistance (it activates automatically if the air bags are deployed), and an information button connects owners to route guidance.
