Did anything change from 02 to 03

In the GLE model?

Is there a visible difference between the 02 and 03?

I posted this a few months ago, don't recall all the differences, and I don't think there were too many. Other than the Titanium Edition being offered in 2003, the only difference I can think of right now is that the window/lock swithces on the doors are a little different. I know, big deal, but it is a visible difference.

They did if we are talking specifically about the GLE. I thought that was the trim level in question. My apologies if I misunderstood.

Second paragraph of a Nissan press release dated 06/2002 clearly states:
"Other key additions for the new model year include standard front seat side impact supplemental air bags for GLE models..."

Full text, including other detailed changes for 2003 here: http://www.nissannews.com/nissan/200...ma/index.shtml

Again, sorry for any confusion.

The titanium package is cool on some of the 03 SEs, but other than that, I'd say you'd be getting an equal car with an 02.

I was always curious as to how the window switches looked different on an 03. Can anyone post some close up pics?
