My parents (WWII generation) drove GM cars and seemed to spend a significant part of their lives getting their cars repaired. I have driven Toyotas (Tercel, Corolla and 3 Camry V-6) for the past 20+ years. They were all extremely reliable cars and worth the money. (The manual 4-cylinder Corolla drove like a BMW).
That said, the styling on the Camry is stale and the pricing on the Solara is too high. Although both are fine cars (and not being discounted these days), my wife and I (both Camry leasees) will be looking at the Mazda6 and the Honda Accord. Note that we will not even consider a car built by the UAW. Never have, never will.
I can’t speak for the Mazda6, but I leased an ‘08 Accord EX-L V6 last August, and 10 months later I still absolutely love it. At end of lease it will possibly be worth more than the lease payoff.
