remember seeing that when it came out (i guess i'm a oldie), the car was made to show how a tentative camry coupe would look like..this was back when the camry coupe was discontinued.

:o Damn you for not making it a reality, Toyota! That looked A LOT sportier! Lower stance, 3-spoke steering, integrated dual exhaust, better OEM rims, white face gauges (although it's only a reality in Gen2 or custom gauge covers)... We won't have the problem of it discontinuing if they followed through!

Looks nice, but other then the exhaust, not a huge difference,

I have duals on my other car. Its not that big a deal. Ya, it looks cool... But its not like it gives any performance gains, unless you have true duals all the way back. Which no midrange production car will have.

There's a HUGE difference between the concept and the actual production car. Much, much sleeker looking.

I agree. But to someone who doesn't know allot about solaras... I don't think "they" would see much if anything different between that concept and a production.

I don't see a HUGE difference. Just a more general sleekness and crappier exhaust outlets.

I love the seats in that! :o

The dash looks more Gen 2 than Gen 1 did... but yeah, it's a bit Chrysler-ish on the body.

That integrated exhaust would have been cool... as is the hidden rag-top.

Bastards! :x
