Yeah, they are "busy" wheel covers for sure on the Camry L and LE. lol. The new Accord has alloy wheels as standard on the base LX model. However I think that you can opt for alloy wheels on the LE Camry.
I have noticed that Toyota has quickly added the 6.1 inch touch screen display audio system to all of the '13 models, including the base "L" model. I guess this was done to make it more of a competitor against the '13 Accord which actually has standard satellite radio. I think that satellite radio is optional on the Camry LE and not even available on the Camry L. I don't see many Camry L models, I would say its a lowly purchased model.
Those 4-cylinder engines constitute the standard engine in the overwhelming percentage of Japanese sedans sold in the USA; for the Accord LX, it's 84%.

I'd say, for most driving conditions, the 4-cylinder is adequate for both the Accord and Camry.
The only advantage with the V6 is that it is quieter/more refined at higher speeds, and it gets a slightly faster 0-60 (acceleration). Or if you do a lot of hilly driving the extra torque would be useful.
Disadvantages of the 6 vs. the 4-cyl include: - higher fuel consumption, somewhat higher service/maintenance costs (less room to work around the engine compartment, more spark plugs, different distributor, etc.), and historically a little less reliable than the 4-banger, though still good.
I wish sunroofs were stand-alone options, like leather seats. Those are usually the only two options I want. That and power windows but most base models have those now.

I have sunroof, but I never use it, so, I don't need it or even want it. The leather is horribly hot during summer.
But, the backup camera on the Accord EX and the nice wood look inside the Camry XLE are nice.

I've had my 2008 Accord in a 109 F day and the leather didn't get terribly hot. Just keep it in a garage and you'll be fine. Even outside in hot temperatures it's not that bad. And my car's black on black

My wife's '03 Accord EX V6 came with leather and I purposely put Lexol conditioner on it and tried to keep it from crackling . It still did prematurely ( in my opinion) and the drivers seat, of course, is the worst. Granted, we live in the desert and the car is parked outside during the day, garaged at night and on weekends. I also would agree that the V6 is more problematic than our our 4 cyl Accords. Still, the milage, is not bad and the extra torque is appreciated on hills and steep grades on interstates.
