But the features are (nearly) the same on the both the 75 and the 90.
IIRC, from a luxury car POV, the only thing the 90 has that the 75
hasn't is the trip computer, and even this got dropped in the 90 super.
The 75 even has some features (e.g. rear headphone sockets) that the 90
doesn't. (I won't even attempt to wonder at the point of them, unless
you can switch off the speakers.)

That and the production dates: 90 1984-87, 77 1986-1992(?). That's only
a two-year overlap.

Not having resources to hand, I would agree they look smaller than an
Alfetta, but from memory all the critical exterior dimensions are the
same. Does anybody who is familiar with both have any comment on the
interior?
