wow... um realy theres no big difrence... mayby some weight diffrence but not much and a air flow difrence but that doesnt matter much since the car will never hit speeds high enough for wind drag to matter lol go with what you like better

^No, hardly.

There were SEi coupes, but they came in DX and Lxi as well. I don't think there are LX coupes but I could be wrong (and most likely am).
