The original Solara was a good idea. Why not make a credible competitor to the Accord coupe? Unfortunately, it priced itself out of it's market. But now that you can pick up a V6 Manual for $2k, is it such a bad deal?
This car has aged pretty well. The lines are incredibly clean, and - dare I say - timeless. I love the way it looks, with the clean sweep of the swage line from nose to deck.
The interior is more loaded than Lucille Bluth on a distillery tour. Leather-wrapped wheel, 8-way power seats, auto climate control and a full suite of gauges were all available.
Expect to pay a bit more for the convertible, but you get panoramic views and a more airy cabin.
You could even get a TRD supercharger put on your Solara. !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! hit zero to sixty in 6.3 seconds with this kit.

So how does OPPO feel about the original Solara? And would anyone buy one for two grand?

My neighbor has a white convertible. I don't know why she's stuck with that when her husband drives an 650i convertible and A8L. I like the first gen.

I always thought the hard top was a nice looking car. I never liked the convertible variant though, not sure why.

I'll pick the RWD v8 powered Toyota (with a shittier interior) for $1,500 option every time.

Nice! Unfortunately, you just can't pick them up for that kind of money in Canada.
