Okay, the SE with a pop-out drawer will cost you $45......so that's not an advantage.

Maybe the "softer" suspension of the GLE?

As long as you have the money, you can make the SE more luxurious or you can make the GLE more sporty...

It's the same basic car with different options...

My opinion...hope it helps...

but as medicsonic said, you can't beat the pop out drawer!

Shut up GXE boy, luxury and coolness weigh a little. BTW, a fat perosn in a lite car will equal a skinny perosn in a slightly heavier car, so GLE=HEAVY means nothing. Buy an auo next time, you'll get better numbers.

None of the option packages are that much heavier than any of the others. I think the difference is in the 125 pound range to go from a base GXE to a loaded GLE.

Exactly weight is negligable, and Cumalot, you made the right decision.

I love my GLE, but I really do prefer the body-colored handles and black window trim from the SE. I'll probably be switching soon if anyone wants some chrome window trim and chrome exterior door handles.

This is a SE vs. GLE issue, go start a thread about the great attributes of the GXE if you want to continue. We don't want your kind here.

I did? Actually, if I had to do it over again, I would have got a 5spd. Sorry, Medisoncic, but auto just don't cut it. It has it moments, but I still would prefer a 5spd. If I have a 5spd, maybe I can shut a few of these 5spd guys up who think they are great drivers. I'll show them a thing or two about a thing or two.

Yup, but he keeps comimg up with this pathetic excuse of "I thought that you were getting off at the next exit." And obviously, 1/4 don't mean too much is you can't beat someone out in the real world. It comes down to the driver AND the car, not the car.

Funny, Rt. 15 is in CT, not fantasyland. Are you calling me a liar? I have witnesses, all you have are dreams.
