Well that is where toyota has changed, the SE and XLE are the best, but respective manors, each has features the other doesn't... thus ranking is DX/CE<LE<SE=XLE IMO

anybody agree?

92-94 XLE came with V6 as an option, just like Gen 5s do now.

Seems like a waste, to pay close to $25k for a Camry XLE and have a 4 banger. If I pay $25K for a ride it best damn come with V6 power

edit: SE beats all others.

V6 was an option with all packages.

The SE would be the sports model. The XLE (which I have) is the luxury model. It weighs more, but it also comes with a moon roof, CD player, leather, fully electronic seats, etc.

I love it! And I get props for auto-xing a luxury car

just wait till the Camry Azura here in Aus gets the 3.3L (if that even happens)

it is pretty much a cross between the SE and XLE with a bodykit
top of the range here in Aus

SE - is the sport tuned suspension w/ blackened headlights

XLE - is the top of the line - why would you only put climate control on somethign thats not top of the line.

You can't make your SE to an XLE (ie. auto climate control). You can make your XLE into an SE (ie. enjoy the climate control and yet lower the car - hence the sports suspension and add fog lights).

From factory SE owns, from a modders viewpoint XLE owns! ALL THIS IMO!
