i know every one misses solara. as my self i have have 04 v6 solara whis still runs so smooth. runs like sports when you step on gas. saves lot of gas. i saw a review of 2012 solara. its not in production yet but i just dont know what toyota is doing. if they ever take out that 2012 solara, i will sure buy that. but i dont think toyota is going to do that.

I agree with everyone above – it was a major mistake to stop production on the convertible version of this car. Advertising failed miserably. It’s a luxury vehicle at a great price; it gets 31 MPG – OMG!!!, and I can not tell you how many compliments I’ve received for the style alone – both inside the US, and in Europe – everyone LOVES it…BIG mistake. Many of us wanted to upgrade!!!

I have owned 3 Solara’s over the last 10 years, choosing to upgrade to the newest model every 3 years. I currently own a 2006 Solara Coupe. I only have 24,000 miles on it, and I love everything about it. I would like to buy a new car, but I am partial to Toyota; unfortunately they do not currently have anything on the market that I like. I hate SUV’s, and hate mini van’s even more. I want something that is sporty, but without the Solara in their line-up I guess I will have to go with another manufacturer. Listen up Toyota; there are a lot of people out there who do not have children (myself included) who want a nice sporty, good-looking vehicle like the Solara. Please come up with something comparable, or at the very least, start producing the Solara again.

We are very dissappointed the solara convertible is no longer made. Wife got one in 05 & loved it. She recently totaled it, and so we are looking to get a good used one (since new is not an option). No other convertible is as roomy (we have 2 kids). And the Sebring is not a good car (& is ugly).

I’m disappointed that the solara was discontinue, what are toyota going to replace the solara with. They have to beat the honda accord coupe.

I for one am terribly disapointed that Toyota has discontinued the production of the Solara convertible, I was hoping to either purchase or lease one for my wifes’ birthday this year, we both loved this vehicle.

I still have my 2001 Solara Convertible w/218,000 miles and it runs great. Yesterday, a 2008 Solara Conv became avail to me through a friend of a friend, and I am considering buying it. I was so disappointed when they discontinued the model. It is a great little car, my all time favorite of cars I’ve had over the last 30 yrs. I find it hard to believe that anyone would knock it.

What does Toyota expect? They have never advertised the Solara so most of those sales were “word of mouth” types!

I agree, the Solara was one of my favorite toyotas at one point. But the rumors were all true, so I guess its goodbye ):

Well, I have a 2003 Soara convertible and I love it. I think many of us will miss this car- a reliable, comfortable, near-luxury, 4 passenger, open-topped touring car. Where are the alternatives????
