Toyota Press Release 2007 Solara

Postby PXLpainter » Fri Jul 21, 2006 2:41 pm

I KNEW there was just something wrong with the way they stuck the new nose on the 07 Solara... it was evident to me when a new Camry was recently posted online (sorry for stealing your pic!) ;)

Look at the angle of the lines on the 07 Camry - where they come off the hood and on to the nose:

NOW - look at the job they did on the 07 Solara:

You've got lines going all directions... no flow - just chaos.

What were they thinking?

^^^ It's all good bro.


I agree about the chaotic lines.

Here is a recent pic I took of a Camry and a Gen 2 Solara. I definitely like the lines better on the Gen 2 (compared to the Gen 2.5).

^^^ yours doesn't have the yellow parking pass on the rear view. :P

I'm still repulsed with that Toyota Logo bump on the nose. They're putting it on a lot of models too. Wonder if I'll ever get used to it. So fugly. Guess they wanted to make it harder for guys to remove it.

I use to be repulsed with the big butt on the Gen 2 and how the Toyota logo sat on a bump on the trunk. I eventually got used to it. :D

I like the big butt (and I cannot lie) on the Gen 2 but hate the big sombrero logo. That's coming off and shaved-down when I can afford to swap deck lids and upgrade to the 07 spoiler.

It seems as if Yota is trying to out-do VW with the big ass logo on the nose of their rides anymore. :roll:

imo, the 2007 camry looks better than the solara...and that rally looking front end.....reminds me of the the aftermarket front clip for the 04's....

plus i'm pretty sure i read the camry V6 is like 282hp....anyone test drive that guy?
