Default Checked out new Solara

I just got back from the dealers.

My dad wanted to get me a Prius but I ended up looking at the new Solara. It's really nice, looks like a SC430 from behind. Too bad the build quality seems to be lacking. It has decent speed (like AV6) but nothing great. Handling is like a Camry SE V6, maybe a bit better so....it's not that sporty.

Then I walked over next door to look at the RX330. That test drive was a waste of 30 minutes of my life.

I then went to Acura because my dad wanted to look at the TSX for my sisters. I never noticed the great build quality of the TSX until today. The doors really feel solid like BMW doors and the dash/vents look durable.

Heh, when I went by Mazda I saw two RX8's in the garage being repaired. Hehe
