Toyota Camry Solara
by IRWIN ROSO
The 2008 Toyota Camry Solara shapes a new standard in its segment as it packages sporty refinement. All Solara coupes come equipped as standard with a double overhead cam (DOHC) 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 155 horsepower at 6,000 RPM and 158 lb-ft of peak torque at 4,000 RPM. The all-aluminum 3.3-liter V6 produces 210 horsepower at 5,600 RPM and 220 lb-ft of torque at 3,600 RPM, with ample torque at low and mid-range speeds. In both engines, Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i) ensures an even spread of power across the engine speed range for sporty response. The smooth, quick-revving four-cylinder engine comes equipped as standard with a crisp-shifting five-speed manual transmission. A five-speed automatic transmission with intelligent electronic controls is optional. The Solara suspension and steering systems have been specially tuned to provide lively handling response. Front and rear suspension systems are mounted to anti-vibration sub-frames, ensuring a smooth, quiet ride. The Solara provides room and practicality unexpected in coupes and convertibles. A 107.1-inch wheelbase allows for a roomy interior, particularly in the rear seat, where many coupe and convertible models can feel confining. Solara passengers will find ample headroom and legroom in the rear seat, as well as generous front and rear shoulder and hip room.
