Looks like a cross between last gen CL, last gen Tiburon and the new Accord coupe. Interior looks like it's been ripped off the Accord too.
I thought Toyota/Lexus was only copying Mercedes. I guess I was wrong.

What an ugly POS. Luckily this caters to the American taste and will not come to Europe looking like this *hoping*...

The arguement is about how a TRD supercharger brings the solara price up to the G35 price territory. Now whether anyone actually buys the SC is a different question, that doesn't change that people buying a TRD SC, who clearly care about performance, are or should be considering the G35 coupe.

I actually liked the previous Solara, the styling was somewhat bland but it was inoffensive and looked better than the Camry sedan. They're a good value on the used market, too, if you can find one.
If someone's heard they had problems, was the V6 the same one that was affected by the sludge problem for a while there? NFS4?
As for the new one, it looks terrible. I don't like the styling of the SC430 and that was obviously the inspiration for the fugly rear end. It's still a nice value, but that's an ugly car.

The front looks very nice. The rear looks terrible. Ah well, maybe it will lure a few soccer moms away from H2s.
That car seems to be "sagging" up front and all hunched up in the back...pretty fugly if you ask me

Quite a few actually. There are two turbocharged (custom) Camrys running around T.O. (one of them has same gen Camry as yours Brandon) and there is one 91 Corolla with a custom turbocharged 2.2L 4-cyl (from the Camry) transplanted into that Corolla. Its a sleeper...looks 95% stock from the outside (apart form slight drop and wheels)...and its FREAKING FAST!!
Anyway back to SOlara...very nice interior...looks like it came straight out of the Accord (with minor re-arrangement of buttons)..whats up wiht hte front end? Why the hell does Toyota intend on stretching out its headlights all the way back?? Looks fugly, but the profile is nice.
Bottom line, I like the previous Solara better.
