yes the SE is the base and targeted at the older byers, and the SLE, and the dropped SSE, and the SSEi were aimed at younger business men, who needed a family car but also good looks and some speed

BTW, i think its DAMN easy to distinguish between SE and SLE.... they are completely different body styles. Now the SSEi and SLE is a different story. Do you even know what you are talking about?

I agree that there are a lot of older older folks driving them and I think that helps others think they are slow cars until someone like one of us comes up and blows their doors off with just normal driving. They are great sleepers. I love when people underestimate me.

and if you theory is correct then the there is no SSEI, its just an SSE with */C for the 92-99 and a SLE with a */C for the 2000+
