More wrong info.

and the seats don't fold down due to a sway bar. Good God.

Got caught up, should have said 40/20/40 split reclining seats - you are right, can't fold. I test drove an SE and did not see the lights and according to my dealer could not opt for them either...I guess never trust the dealer. Anyway, SE and XLE are fine choices...

I do miss the dual climate control, I'm married also.

Dual Climate control isn't on the SE? hmm i rarely use it in mine...my wife doesn't care for it much eheh

What got me to get the XLE was the smartkey, not an option on SE. It is way cool not having to unlock the door w/ remote or key when running in the rain...

Would be nicer if the XLE had the option to upgrade the steering to wood....

But then again, people would rather by the ES350 huh?

Yes, that is one of the nice features but had to give up the better handling of the SE

re: njeralds post... I guess I need to be more careful in my postings to not get killed here

...should I have said more correctly "trunk-mounted braces in the SE"

If you really want to have wood, you can buy it with wood inserts at places like http://www.wooddashexperts.com/custo...e.php?cat=7196 for $280...

How would you know if the car had a JBL system in it by just looking at it, if it didn't have the Nav. system?

I don't want to drive all the way to the dealership because the salesman didn't know what I meant, or was just trying to get me there.

It will say it on the Window Sticker, and on the Radio faceplate.

Thanks for the reply.. One more question. I saw this car, and another on the engine noticing this wire.. Though not all the cars I've seen have this. Any idea what it might be?

JBL also has 6 CD capability so will have numbers 1-6 along the bottom of the face.

But i've seen stereos with JBL and non-JBL with the numbers 1-6 along the bottom.
