1. Age doesn't necessary relate to taste. It's all relative and depends on the individuals.
I've seen grandpas driving a bright red corvette & I've seen a 20yo driving a GS400. Doesn't mean a thing!
2. Poor sales? What's the cause? If it's the economy, maybe it'd be interesting to see the Accord Coupe market share over Solara?
AFAIK, Solara is never the bread & butter, unlike the Camry. Owners should feel good, they don't have hard times at the parking lots trying to find their own cars.
3. Or maybe this first batch of 2nd gen Solara has too many build problems, factory actually ramp down the production? This only mean good for the future buyers, hopefully QC will go up.
IMO:
* We all have different opinions. It's okay to sound off. What's not okay is to make remarks of certain things that can differentiate people (culture, age, sex, race, religion, rich/poor, etc.). Afterall we're all civilized people, we can life peacefully with our differences. We can talk about our opinions.
** This thread only shows that both generation owners love their cars. 1gen owner love their 1st gen and 2nd gen love their 2nd gen. Too bad sometimes love in the extreme become Fanaticism. I hate to think of the word "narcistic", I sincerely hope we're not like that.
Just my two cents.
I'm 29yo and I regret I compromised and bought this 04 SLE.
I should've bought an GS300 like I had planned all along.
(I didn't say that driving an expensive car make me feel important or rich. But this goes to show you that young people have "good" taste too -> according to older folks)
