Toyota made minor, but welcomed, styling changes in 05 as they did half-way through the model life of the previous Camry body style. Redesigned tail lights, head lights and grille help the appearance. The LE now has ABS (even though the 4 cyl still has drum brakes on the rear), 5-speed auto, keyless entry and audio controls on the steering wheel. The LE has all the needed features and you save money not paying for unnecessary luxuries like leather and sunroof.
I bought the Special Edition LE which Southeast Dealers are offering. It totally changes the appearance of an otherwise bland car. Ground effects, lip spoiler on the trunk instead of that ugly elevated thing the factory offers and beautiful 18" BBS wheels with low profile Michelins. I chose the new-for-05 Mineral Green color which I love.
I wouldn't change a thing other than adding disc brakes on the rear and Homelink, but those options aren't offered with the 4 cyl engine.
