If they had used the same V6 in the Solara as they have in the Camry and Avalon, Toyota would have trouble keeping up with the demand.

Here, here!!
Add a manual tranny (or at least a decent AT that doesn't totally slug and suck) and yes indeed, a winner we would have!
FWIW, I've done a lot of mods to my ride to try to get it over the 200whp bump (at teh wheels) and I barely squeak by! Includes custom headers & exhaust, CP-e SRI intake and a custom tune box from Split Second. I can get 2nd gear scratch from it but the sloppy tranny is the weakest link to the wheels I'm afraid.
