The Toyota Camry Solara, also known simply as the Toyota Solara, is a mid-size coupé/convertible manufactured by Toyota. It is based on the Toyota Camry and was designed to replace the discontinued Camry Coupé (XV10). Unlike its predecessor, the Camry Solara was styled with a greater emphasis on sportiness, featuring a more rakish design and upgraded suspension and engine tuning for a sportier driving experience.
The first-generation Camry Solara was introduced in late 1998 as a 1999 model, with the coupe version debuting first. The convertible variant was later introduced in 2000, filling the gap left by the discontinuation of the Celica convertible in Toyota's North American lineup.
In 2003, Toyota launched the second-generation Camry Solara, starting with the coupe model for the 2004 model year. The convertible version of the second generation was introduced in the spring of 2004 as a 2005 model. The second-generation models continued the trend of combining Camry's reliability with a more dynamic and sporty design, appealing to drivers looking for a blend of style and performance in a mid-size car.

1. The Toyota Camry Solara is a mid-size coupé/convertible based on the Toyota Camry.
