Wasn't the non-GL model called the L model?

I bought a new '91 L in Hawaii when I was stationed there.� It had the rubber mats
and the two rear facing seats instead of a bench seat.� No power anything.� Basic but nice.

'89 Syncro GL (Hidalgo)

Subject: Differences in models for 1990
 
Hey all,
My previous deal fell through when the seller said he didn't have time for
"inspections" and then followed up with he has irregular job hours and he
may not be available just anytime of the day.� Of course he went on to say
the van was available for cash.
� Duh, no kidding!� I told him I don't buy any car and especially a Vanagon
without a pre-purchase inspection.� Not to mention I'm over 8000 miles away
and a friend is doing my bidding...

Anyhow, I found another and I am wondering what is the difference (aside
from the lack of carpet and seat material) between a GL and a non-GL for
the model year 1990?� the latest I've ever owned is an 87.� Somehow I kept
finding 87's in all my previous searches over the years.� Was really weird
I ended up with three of them including one Syncro...

Ah, I see, no power mirrors in the pictures.� OK.� No power locks or
windows but no problem there.� The power locks can be troublesome (love
when they cycle up & down continously) and I won't die without power
windows.

Bumpers, lower body work, and rims.� The first two do look nice, I will say
that.� I have plenty of alloys and bigger rims also so no loss there either.

Anything else?

Thanks!

TJ
