Yeah, I've tried to spec out the cost of equipping an LE with what came standard in my TCH, and it's been a while but I believe they come surprisingly close. Trying again right now, I'm coming up with maybe a 4k difference in MSRP, though I'm still not sure all the included features I got are covered in the LE+options package (like the leather steering wheel cover and gearshift knob?). Plus the TCH has more power than the 4-cyl LE. You can throw out numbers for loaded LE, v6 LE, or XLE, and TCH will probably be more expensive than all but the highest-end options, but as mentioned, I got mine a year ago and got $2600 in tax credits. Plus the mileage is great, and it's an amazingly smooth and quiet drive. Not all the features of the TCH are available on the other models at any price!
