I thought that the Solara was no more .... ?

Not quite yet.

The Solara is still selling and being produced for '07. Just no confirmation if it continue for '08, and no confirmation if it will be axed.

It may continue for '08 in very limited numbers. It's up for a redesign by '09, but it may be axed for a brand new (perhaps sportier) model by then...

I really like these cars a lot. especially the 3.5se with premium and tech. package. its a 30 grand altima but still, it looks great, is sporty, and is affordable. although id probably just get the 3.5 base 6spd...

i think the car would look 1 million times better with a drop and much better rims (19's?)+ a better grill

i might get one of these. parents wont go for z and this seems a lot more practical
