Camry Solara

Coming in both coupe and convertible versions, this sporty two-door version of the Camry sedan comes powered by a 157-horsepower 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine with Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i) that can be mated to either a five-speed manual transmission or optional four-speed automatic. Also available is a lustier 225-horsepower 3.3-liter VVT-i V-6 that can be fitted to a five-speed sequential-shift automatic transmission. An SE Sport model includes stiffer front and rear springs, as well as sport-tuned front and rear shock absorbers and larger 17-inch wheels and tires for more precise handling. Front side-impact airbags are standard, and a generous selection of optional features includes side-curtain airbags, a navigation system and XM satellite radio. It remains status quo for 2006.
