The SC is the Supra's rich cousin, but even the rich can fall on hard times! I've only ever seen women and people light in their sneakers.drive Solara's

When the SC was introduced, Lexus was was still the new kid on the luxury car block. They took direct aim at yuppie and mature Mercedes customers. If anything, the SC's were the Poor Man's 300CE / 500SEC. But from my perspective, they were only the Poor Man's Dreams.

Superficially speaking, the older Solara did make the Camry sedan look a little better and to me, when I was briefly considering a Camry, that caught my eye. I'm glad I didn't go down that road but I can't knock the Solara because if I was wanting a Camry, they'd be an option to consider, albeit briefly for a few reasons. But to compare it to the SC is like saying "shetland pony vs thoroughbred"

1998-2003 Solara interior is very similar to the SCs.

I had a good laugh aloud at that one...
I had one tell me years ago that the Solara is a new replacement to the Supra...........

If I *had* to get a Solara, I would check out the older ones just because they are cuter to me

^^ LOL! If all Solaras were tube-frame funny car dragsters I'd probably agree.
