Hey, I appreciate all the well wishes from everyone about my birthday purchase. Convinces me even more I did the right thing.
I was originally going to wait until the '07 Solaras came out, to see what the restyle was going to look like. But I like the way the Solaras look now, and you can always wait for new changes to come about.
Anticipating getting a new car next year, I test drove the Acura TSX (rear seat uninhabitable with front seats pushed back, making owning a four door a moot point), the Toyota Avalon (very nice, but screams old person to me regardless), the 07 Camry (still a family man car to me, despite the sporty redesign), the Honda Accord Coupe (no manumatic offered, and the interior is dull compared to the Solara). After driving all these cars, I kept coming back to the Solara. I just love the car too much to change to another model.
In the end, I decided screw it, treat myself to something for once in my life.
To the individual that asked, the Solara will be discontinued after the '08 model year unfortunately. But my experience is that Solara owners are unusually dedicated to their cars, so this website will continue on long after the Solara stops production.
