Default does a Solara remind you of SC ?

Except for the drive train being totally opposite, the profile and spoiler always make me think that a 99-2000 Toyota Solara looks like an SC. There is also wood trim on the dash at the same area.

+1 OG, the butt especially. But as an owner of an SC, the interior is not even close. Can't believe how many people buy the Solara, when they can get a great SC430 for 22K

I think it looks like one also. Everytime I see one, I think the same thing.

they do bear a resemblance, but i find that the mid-to-late 90s Celicas have much more similar body lines, especially the roof line and flared rear quarter panels.

keep in mind that the solara is really a camry.

Yeah, the older Solara looks like the SC300/400 and the newest Solara looks like the SC430. Not a surprise, they're related by blood.

100% Yes. Before I knew much about front wheel drives and rear wheel drives and V6 versus I6, I used to think they were the same exact car, with different logos. Sort of like the V6 Camry and the ES300.
