If I had still the time and inclination for working on cars, and/or worked in a car shop all day, the cost and convenience would make it an easy choice to change oil more frequently than recommended. And I'd probably do it, too.
But I don't, so I don't.
Again, your mileage may vary.
What about those BMW and Mercedes? Some models don't need oil changes until 15,000miles and others don't even need any changes. Wonder what type of oil those cars run on? Hmmm... Thanks.
As long as it only LOOKS Chrysler-like and does not turn out to have the same lack of reliability they do, it should be okay.

I bet nobody will be allowed near the car with a camera...
" I've always thought of Chrysler as being one of the industry leaders in terms of styling."
You're right! That's about all they have going for them, except maybe the big rebates and the 7/70 warranty. If their styling keeps going the way of "cars" like the Pacifica, they won't even have the looks either.
Just my .02 as usual.

IMO a retractable hardtop on a car this size would be a hot seller though. (Lexus SC430 too small and too pricey)
A retractable hardtop would be very nice, but like toydriver said, this would push this car into Lexus land... it would be a hot seller for Toyota nonetheless, and will perhaps address the rattle issues that some have had with the ragtop.
Can anyone tell me the rpm at exactly 70 mph with the 4-cylinder automatic (SE)?
Is it possible to get the ivory cloth interior with the Lunar Mist exterior(SE)?
The KY plant has won numerous awards also. I'm sure there are numerous reasons to switch plants, and Toyota doesn't make decisions like this on a whim.

Also, 5-speed automatic available with 5 manual
Had it for almost 3 years, cost of ownership not including insurance, but including financing, maintenance & tires (should have waited) $12,160.75, came out to 28 cents a mile or $360 a month.
Wish I could have had it longer, definitely would have lowered the cost. Well I've now got a new Infiniti G35 Sedan, very nice car. Still anxiously awaiting to see what they do with the new Solara.

When I posted this stuff on another board, several people didn't want to believe that 10mm of extra rubber could make a difference, but it looks like it can. I'll bet the Solara stops shorter with these too. Ez, tell us more when you have more time on the tires!

Are there any pictures available for all of us to view???
Can't wait to get a look at it!
'99 Pearl White SE 69K and going strong...

Hopefully I wrong and they will show both.
Sequoiasaurus, you mean April 17th the Solara will be debuted! Phew...you had me scared for a minute.
It's very smooth and rounded, very sporty looking. The sides are a little weak, but still nice looking. Bumpers are integrated into the body.
The car was destined for Toyota Sales for promotional shots. This one was black, but I bet a deep red would be an outstanding color. I never cared much for the previous years' styling. This one is a very bold change. You will like it.
Thank goodness I live so close to NYC (I live in lower Southwestern Connecticut in Fairfield County) so that I can go and witness the new Solara in all it's beauty myself at the Jacob Javits center.
The only bad part is having to drive on the Cross Bronx Expressway and go over the George Washington Bridge (sans EZPass), not to mention driving in the heart of Manhattan (where the Javits Center is)! Oh well, can't have pleasure without some pain!
Only 2 weeks to go!
The '91 was the last year design, a real classic. I have heard many positive things about that year. If you sell yours make sure you get a good price.
Thanks for the info about the 2004 Solara! I can't wait to see pics of it.
