A redesigned Solara
Coming in the fall of 2003, a new Solara.
The 2004 Toyota Camry Solara will be mechanically similar to the latest Camry sedan.
It is said to be a notchback coupe, not a fastback like the current model.

Well that's usually when Toyota releases new models. That's nothing new. But usually, there are always press review days, the magazines publish the pics of the cars and their test evals before Toyota does a true unvieling.

R u'all thinkin to buy the new gen solara?

I would love to see it too, but why bother?

Just wait and see...
too much guessing and gossip is ain't good ya know...

B4 u know it, we start bangin each other...

Some people have insight but sworn to secrecy...
which does not help, but make the conversation worse.

Good point. It's not as if seeing a picture of this car now or in a few months is going to have a huge impact on anyone's life. Plus, since we already own the current version of the car, are we the ones most likely to run out and buy the next version? Probably not.

Motor Trend: 2004 Toyota Camry Solara: New model introduced in spring 2003 with mechanical changes in line with the redesigned 2002 Camry sedan. We hear it is a proper notchback coupe, not a fastback like first-generation car.

It is expected to have a redesigned version of the Camry Solara coupe. It has been built in Ontario, but this year it will be made instead at the Kentucky plant that also makes Camry and Avalon sedans.

It has a huge impact on mine. Some of us are members of this group because it's the best place to get news about the new Solara. I don't currently own a solara, but will be buying a new car soon. If the new Solara is something worthy of looking at, I want to know whether to wait for it or buy something else.

You're right. I was only thinking about people who already own a Solara now. I forgot about people who don't have one now, but are considering the new version. Thanks for pointing that out.

here is some info from my brother that works at TRD USA in SO CAL...there will be no TRD line up for the new SOLARA...also he said that a solara was shown to them about a month ago and it does look almost exactly like the people on the forum are saying. first off the rear end is very much simliar to a SC430 but not as agressive or wide....second his opinion on the front was that it was over kill....he said they tried to keep the front from looking like the new camry and give it a more solo look but failed...he also mentioned there was no molding on the sides of the car and that it came with 16'' rims...the car is front wheel drive and is being produced at the TMMK facility where the old sienna was built...if u go out to Kentucky u can get a glimse of it...second when i asked when they were going to release photos of the car...he said they where keeping it all hush hush and that the car will be out by june...the reason its comming very early in the year as a 2004 model is because of a new sports car toyota is in the process of making...so they are releasing the solara first to get feed back on the engine and displacement of a 245 hp....if that engine fares well it will be the low end option for the new sports car from toyota....from what my brother told me on the phone he said that if anyone is a big toyota fan than 2004 will be the year for them....oh and he then made a side bar stating the new 350z is about to be blown the "f**K out of the water"...

I would guess that they would keep the Solara FF since it is still a camry...

but this new sports car they are dev. (according to the posts in the other forums) must be FR (Front Engine, Read Wheel Drive)
