this sophisticated powertrain provides performance surpassing that of many
legendary sports cars. If you seek the "great escape," Eldorado is certainly
it.
Self-assured style is an integral component in the Eldorado Touring Coupe
(ETC) personality. Taut, distinctive lines are complemented by a body-color
grille, new front and rear fascias and a minimum of chrome. The unmistakable
message: that this is a high-performance coupe of uncompromising character.
As befits a personal performance coupe, Eldorado Touring Coupe's elegant
interior is focused unblinkingly on the task of driving. Backlit analog
gauges - complemented by an electronic driver information center - deliver
essential information at a glance. Orthopedically-designed seating provides
support and comfort for the longest journeys. Even your peace of mind is
enhanced, thanks to the reassuring presence of air bag protection for both
driver and front passenger.
The basic Eldorado is a prominent benchmark of the higher standard of Cadillac

with an array of styling enhancements including new front and rear fascias,
standard fog lamps, bodyside mouldings and cast-aluminum wheels. Inside,
luxurious leather upholstery complements the bold nature of Eldorado, and
