Is there really any appreciable dash differences between trim levels?

It seems they are all pretty much the same these days... they are evening throwing a tach in on the XL trim. I guess there may be some slight dash plastic color differences, but the buttons all SEEM to be the same? Anyone care to give some photos of their different trim levels? Id love to see one of each style represented.

Besides the gauge trim, there ARE some differences with the buttons and *****. The lower trim levels assume that you may be wearing gloves when you operate the controls. The more "refined" trim levels, don't. ***** are smaller as are the buttons.

I personally like the gauges with the XL and STX myself. Good contrast. I don't like any chrome on my instrument panel, because it WILL glare at some point. And the XLT gauges have gray faces, rather than ivory or black. There is a point at dawn and again at dusk when the contrast, or lack thereof, makes viewing at a glance difficult. Shame, because the XLT is my preferred trim level. I'd make do with an STX.
