EA-EDs were available in it. Actually I think you could get XFs in platinum as well and I have heard of the occasional platinum EF. YBYAVL is also Platinum.

I just checked out my compliance plate and it's also got engine code P and trans W. Therefore P means it's got a 3.9litre with multipoint fuel injection (I'm guessing they use a different code to the CFis but I may be wrong) and like cartz said, it is a 4 speed auto (which is what mine was originally).
