Default Speaking of Trim Levels

and how conscious we are of them... (by the way I agree...we are more than LS 400 and 460)

What the heck trim is mine? I have the Nav, the A/C seats, a little tag that says "sport" suspension, Levinson, almost everything the UL has except the rear massage (where they hide the massage girl I'll never know) and the laser cruise. It also has the keyless start and rear camera.

Is it a CL? Is it a "Sport" Was the sport suspension an option on all trim levels?

Assuming you have an 04-06, it sounds like you have the Modern Luxury with the Sport Package. The Sport Package was only available on the ML and Premium levels during those years. (I assume that the sport suspension tag you mention is on the fender.)

YES! Thank you! It's an '04 sorry for not including that! Yes the tag is on the fender and it has a snow/regular (I can't remember what it says)/power switch on the console that really makes a big difference in the way the car drives.

18 inch rims, which I am told make the ride a little stiffer and louder but look great for stock rims.

In the "power" mode it is surprisingly fleet of foot.

How do I tell the difference between "Premium" and "ML" ?

ML (Modern Luxury) has nav, backup camera, bluetooth, and Mark Levinson stereo. Premium has standard non-nav stereo with none of the above.

BTW, the 18" alloy wheels were included in the sport package.

You know you don't have the rear seat goodies, so UL is out. Do you have headlamp washers? If so, then you might have a CL.

He has the sport package and that was not available on the CL and UL trim levels in 04-06.

Sure it wasn't an option for the CL trim? The UL has the air-suspension, so wouldn't want to downgrade to Sport, but I had always thought the sport was available on all other standard suspension setups. It was just a hard to find option.

The disclaimer pages of the 04 and 06 sales brochures say something to the effect "Sport Package not available with Custom Luxury Selection or Ultra Luxury Selection packages." I didn't see that disclaimer in the 05 brochure.

Are you sure about the laser cruise? If so, then it seems you have CL and sport pack (I had no idea such a thing existed, but would be my first choice!). Do you have extended leather as well (on the dashboard, doors)?

I am sure I DO NOT have it, yes. It would truly suck to find out I had laser cruise after all my trips to the Keys and Orlando! LOL Is there some telltale feature that would ID laser cruise?

I will check about the leather, but I don't think so. The door panel insert might be, but I don't think the dash is.
