To set the records straight....
The GMC Syclone was an S-15 Sonoma with the 4.3 turbo v6, awd, ground
effects, abs, etc, and cloth seats with "Syclone" embroidery. 2995 were
made in 1991, the only model year. 113 were exported, and it is estimated
that 31 of those returned to the states. For some reason, GMC also made 3
unofficail '92 models.
The GMC Typhoon was a 2-door Jimmy with the same 4.3 turbo v6, awd, ground
effects, abs, etc, with LEATHER seats with "Typhoon" embroidery. 1 was
made in 1991 (but did not have any special interior features), 2497 in
1992 (96 exported), and 2200 in 1993 (2199 sold, #2200 in museum still
wrapped in plastic).
All this info, for those who care, is from www.syty.org. I apologize for
the lack of dak content.
