hey, my mom's got an 05 xle, and my sister's got an se 04 - both v6s. The 04 se's trunk pops right up all the way when it's released, probably cause of the stronger trunk springs that compensate for the weight of the spoiler. It has a spoiler - of course. Also, the chrome trim around the hole where normal people would insert the key to open the trunk is painted car color on the se. As far the interior is concerned there are many differences
se:
e-brake
amber over black dash lights (for better night vision)
extra 15-20 hp or so
tiny holes in the seats
hella open space around under the climate
manual climate
no rear vents
and the dealer says stiffer suspension, but I haven't noticed.
xle:
pedal parking brake
white flourescent-esque dash
205+ hp advanced version of the 9 yr old 1mzfe
smooth seats (leather is standard)
small flippy box under climate
auto climate
rear vents
the se only comes in 4 colors... no auto lights, no steering wheel radio controls, when i tried to set the parking brake I ended up kicking the floor panel, forgot it's the lever type. Even had a GM moment recently when I tried to shift gear in my own car and activated the wipers.....
oh yeah, the checkered grill is common to all 04s and the o5s have a different type of grill altogether.
