if it has cloth and not leather more than likely its a gxe i believe all GLEs came standard with leather, bose, no spoiler, auto, no fog, climate control.

GXE's can have leather people, just saying, you can order a car anyway you want it when you buy it new.

It looks like a GXE to me but the most accurate way to tell is to look under the hood at the identification plate that is on the firewall. On that plate is a number such as BLHULVAA32EUA.

Look at the 12th character (2nd from the end) which is a U in my example.

N = Canada
U = U.S.A. - Non-California
V - U.S.A. - california

Then look at the 6th character which is a V in my example. This indicates the model.

E = GXE for the U.s.; GXE & GLE for Canada.
G = GLE for the U.S.
V = SE

This info is from the FSM, General Information section, page GI-36

Keep in mind that the most basic of them all has no speed limiter.

Wait, so GXE's don't have a speed limiter? I always thought it was the other way around..

Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't the SE cut off at 140 MPH?

I know a lot Japanese cars cutoff at 180 KPH (112 MPH)

My 97 GLE auto tops out at about 125 but its not cutting out.

My 2000 GLE auto CUTS out. The first time it happened, I thought I blew the engine.

My gxe certainly has a speed limiter. I hit the damn thing the first day I got the car. Right around 115mph it totally cuts power and then resume acceleration around 108mph
