2007 Toyota Solara Review
These coupes and convertibles are spinoffs of Toyota's 2002-2006 Camry sedan design. Both Solara body styles come in SE, Sport, and luxury SLE trim. Convertibles have a power fabric top with heated glass rear window. Coupes are available with a 155-hp 4-cyl engine or a 210-hp V6. Convertibles come only with the V6. Four-cyl Solaras are available with manual or automatic transmission. V6 versions come only with automatic. Sport versions have specific exterior trim and Sport coupes get a sport suspension. All Solaras have ABS. An antiskid system is optional on V6 models. Both body styles come with front side airbags. Coupes add curtain side airbags; they're standard instead of optional for 2007. Also for '07, xenon headlamps are newly available and standard on Sport and SLE models. SLEs gain a wireless cell phone link.
Competition
Consumer Guide® Automotive places each vehicle into one of 18 classes based on size, price, and market position. Midsize Cars represent the heart of the U.S. car market. Most are price-sensitive, conservatively designed, family oriented sedans and wagons.

Our Best Buys include Honda Accord and Toyota Camry. Our Recommended picks are the Ford Fusion, Hyundai Sonata, Mercury Milan, and Saturn Aura.

New or significantly redesigned models include the Saturn Aura.
News
Solara reportedly gets the axe after 2008 because of underwhelming sales. Sources say the coupe might return around 2010. That timing, however, would be out of phase with the parent Camry's design cycle, so we'd look for a different sort of Solara on a different platform--assuming a new version does, in fact, materialize.
