Yup. That class is being dominated by 2JZs right now.

I don't think those things qualify as Camrys any more...

The Solara is too good looking to be a Camry

Apparently the stock Solaras aren't so good in the handling department. Being roof-less has made the body very twisty.

Camrys are a really good car... i dont know why they have got such a bad wrap.. they handle, more than enuff power (V6 model) and are quiet, when i compare our camry to our old commodore i prefer the camry any day with out a second thought...
my 2 cents..

My first Toyota was a V6 Vienta/Camry. Wonderful car until the engine died on me. I'd love another one (esp. new shape), but can't go back to FWD after having a RWD.

You can get the Camry to handle quite well with the right set up (well, you can do it with any car) but the lack of power or frontend heaviness doesn't make it a great handler.
The V6 is sweet but all the VZ series were plagued by sludging if not looked after and the 3S and 5S had inherient valve seal problems though I think the 4G Camry had fixed all those things.
Plus the 4G Camry were really dead boring to look at. At least the 2 and 3G had some sorta shape to it.
Also a big problem with it was that performance parts were few and far in between. Engine conversions were only limited to 3SGTE (as later generation 3SGE were very rare to find at all). But FWD and turbo wasn't always an ideal base to set up a performance car. Though some here have got a 3SGTE and FWD with quite some success. I personally couldn't find myself living with that set up.

Actually they are the 3.5 Camry Coupe reborn in '98 as it own stand alone model. They are still called Solora, but the offical name is Camry Solora. They are basically the sporty children of the regular Camry.
The Gen 4 Camrys, are great, while TRD had crappy overpriced bodykits for them, I have designed and build some nice looking kits and they sell well. The Gen 4s are nice looking cars, but I like the Gen 5, its a shame that they didn't add any of the features they have in the Gen 5 in the Gen 4. Guess they was waiting for the Gen 5 to pull out all the stops.
The new Gen 2 Soloras are looking pretty hot too! I can wait till they actually hit the streets over here in the US
