Hi all... thanks for all the help over the last year or so. I came VERY VERY close to pulling the trigger on the GS.

Reasons for the change:

GS felt a bit underpowered.

GS room was tighter in the front seats then the Solara

Old nav system, NO Aux input, and relatively poor stock stereo system.

Price... just could not justify the price difference for near Lexus quality in the Solara.

I will tell you what though... the people on this board have been absolutely wonderful, really a great bunch of guys and gals. The GS is a beautiful car, and who knows, I may pick up a 350 in a couple years.

Again, thanks for everything, and here are the pics... although it isnt a GS, I am still very happy.

I want that display!

I've only seen the Avalon and this looks like Toyota has equipped it well, nice! :thumbup:

wow, im must say that i am incredibly impressed with the whole package. i am especially diggin the guage cluster. :thumbup:

Gotta love the interior of the Solaras. Definitely doesnt look like a 20-30K interior. Mad props for that. The Nav screen graphics look kinda similar to the Lex Gen 5 systems IMO. Now only if the exterior looked as good. Not a fan of it.

Congrats man. ENJOY!! :thumbup:

Congrats on the Solara. It looks really good. You'll enjoy many miles with your new Toyota. Drive safe and happy driving...

You should be happy, its a great car! Congrats!

Indeed. I remember sitting in it for the first time at NOPI last year and I was shocked at how luxurious it was. Shames some luxury car companies

Congrats :) Nice ride :thumbup: & I agree the interior is very nice for a car in it's class.

Nice pic up... They did a good job on the front end and the Display screen looks great... :D

interior looks good, but wonder why they used different colored backlights for the nav and ac buttons?

Nice I really like how the interior looks especially that night shot... :thumbup:

oooooo


since when are solaras so nice inside!! it looks way more expensive than it really is!

Sweet interior. :thumbup:

Nice vehicle overall - they've really 'evolved' the Solara nicely.

GS felt a bit underpowered.



What GS did you drive? I'm guessing it wasn't a 430.

Nice Solara though! That interior is gorgeous!

The Solara interior is very impressive. I was also surprised when I first sat in one.

I just saw a red Solara with the factory body kit and 19"'s with an Eibach drop. It looked very nice
and I would seriously consider it one of the best looking coupes on the road.

Congrats on the new car.

Wow the interior is very nice!

The interior is really nice, like others have said. The exterior is a love-hate thing....I'm in the middle. Sometimes I like it sometimes I don't. As one of the very few big coupes left on the market, i would give it a big thumbs up. I read that Toyota was discontinuing them, that's a shame.
