The LX looked so much better than the GT. I wanted to buy a new '93 LX 5.0 5-speed notch but money was too tight at the time, even though it was a relative bargain. I had seen pictures of the fugly '94 and wanted to snag a '93 before they were gone but just had too much money going out for a big mortgage payment and other things. I'm a red freak, but I wanted a teal LX for some reason, it looked good, I drooled over some teal ones at a dealership but talked myself out of spending money I didn't have. IIRC, I had a red '84 LX hatch at the time, bought cheap in '92 with low mileage, but it was a 3.8 V6 automatic. It looked good, though, I had blacked out the center part of the hood, grille, dummy louvers behind the windows and the headlight bezels, made it look similar to an '85 or so GT (which didn't have all the excess plastic garbage of late '80s / early '90s GTs). The 3.8 ran pretty decent.
