Just like your car? Yeah I like that color. I'll make one tonight when I get home. I can't goof around graphics here at work. Too many eyes prowling.

Enough sour grapes, the 2004 is gorgeous

Postby samkatz » Wed Apr 23, 2003 12:48 pm

Yes, I bought a flame red 2003 in November and will have it for at least 5 years.
But I saw the 2004 at the NY Auto Show. It was up on a turntable and you couldnt sit in it.

Visually I found it striking. Reminded me of the new Accord Coupe, the Celica in the back, even a larger version of the Cougar. Red Color was same as Celica....
Small grill
No, nothing really origninal here, but still a nice package.

It looks shorter, the back seat less roomy. As a tall guy, I don't know how the headroom would be in front compared to the Gen1.

Features seem to be same as new accord - 3.3 l engine, telescoping steering wheel(w/radio controls built in). Side airbags std.

They say it won't be in showroom till august...so much for "spring" introduction.


All said, I still love my 2003, but if I had waited I would check out the 2004

I have to agree with kgasso and flipside about the creases. As I also mentioned earlier in the thread, the curvy side creases in the back just ruin it for me. If they would have gone with a straight crease, it would have looked so much more stylish and luxurious. Insead, it looks cheap. Oh well, guess I'll just have to get GS430 or Infinity G35 coupe or something for my next car a few years down the road.

I also added new ones. I don't like the new Solara, but these color selections might entertain the others. (note: I placed TSW Revos on them)

Gen2 Camry? I think you need to get your eyes checked. Looks like a 2 door Gen5 to me.

Oh right, I was thinking about Gen 2 Solara. Gen 5 is what I meant. I dont know much about Camry Sedan, I've been an Accord fan til I saw the Solara.

I love the way the silver solara looks! :D Can anyone make a clear big picture of that silver solara w/o the body kit? Also, are there any more pics like that one?

Thanks

I hate the front , I like the back --- it looks like a lexus sc

The front sucks I mean it sucks---it looks like a mean cat with big eyes :o

at least 2002 and 3 has better front ---it has a sharp and sexy look
especially the fog lights that are not round but long and slick :angel:

fuc$###% i hate the front---I can't believe that pethetic design. :roll:

I'll never get use to it --------lets forget that 2004
get on with our lives and stick with the 99-03 cars. After this
2004 ------my car looks better then ever
