Toyota Camry Solara Review
The Toyota Camry Solara is designed off of the Toyota Camry Sedan and is targeted at the practical sport enthusiast. With the reliability and fuel consumption of a mid-sized sedan, the Toyota Camry Solar still provides its owners with an exciting driving experience from point A to point B. While nowhere near a racing sports car, reviewers have praised Toyota’s rendition of this sportier Camry Sedan and in 2000, Edmunds gave it the Editors' Most Wanted Vehicle award in its class.
