Yaris Base vs Yaris S

As stated in my other post, I just bought a 2007 Yaris Sedan. The dealer (Honda on Grand in Elmhurst, IL) told me that the car was a Yaris S. However, there is no "S" emblem on the back of the car and when I put the VIN in for my insurance, it comes back as Base. Is there any way to find out for sure which it is?
The VIN is JTDBT923071183383.

Also, what are the main differences between the Base and S?
Mine has the power package with power windows, power locks, keyless, cruise, etc.

The "S" package comes with a body kit on it. Some dealers use the "S" to mean Sedan.

A lot of people will call a Sedan "S." Go to cars.com and search for used Yaris's. You will see many postings that state "S" but the pics are not of the true "S," just a base Sedan.

Yeah, I did notice that. I am very happy with the purchase either way. My payment went up a little, but my insurance and the price at the pump go down, and I have Toyota reliability now and not Government Motors.
(I traded a Cobalt in for it)

BUT you were under the impression it was an "S" and now you feel cheated....

Not really, the fact that the "S" was not on the back tipped me off even before I arrived at the dealer. It has all the features I wanted, so the body kit and foglights would only be an added bonus, not a necessity. Besides, I may end up getting a different body kit for it at some point anyway.
