No such thing. The closest thing, Tiptronic, is a Porsche trademarked name. It's their automatic transmission with manual shift capability.

The interior is mint, and the exterior has the usual little dings, all minor. Winter rims included in sale. Winter rubber should be replaced.

I know I hate the Solara, but gimme a break the Celica was UGLY. Toyota styling is starting to look as if 6 people each got to design one section of the car and then Toyota threw together all the pieces :lol:

And Tobi, maybe my BIL sold it because it was a slushbox. What do you want with a slushbox 8) Actually, the Solara is an even more sad slushbox. The man is gettin old. That's what fatherhood does to ya :cry:

Most modern Toyota designs look like compilations anyways. The Tacoma has a bed that's not even with the hood line, and the cab looks as if the person who designed it had no contact with the persons who designed the hood and the bed.

I think the person who was sketching the rear end of the Camry was using tracing paper to practice drawing the BMW 7-series for a class. The design leader must've seen that, and said "Hey, that works! Just replace the tail lights and we'll be fine."

The Camry has a Bangle Butt. The Yaris has a Bangle Butt. The Avalon has a Bangle Butt. Why does everyone feel the need to copy BMW these days? If I want one of those designs (not that I ever will), I'll go to BMW, thank you very much. I applaud Jaguar for refraining from copying BMW's designs - both their retro and modern design languages speak my language.

Don't forget - the designer of the BMW 7- and 6-series slowly lost the will to live as he was designing the car. Notice the droopy rear-end cut line? In that same vein, the designer of the 5-series must've had a heart attack. The belt line is nice and straight until it gets to the rear end, where it kicks up abruptly and falls back down. The 3-series designer must've had a picture of the E46 model taped over his eyes, and thus was the only thing he could see. I'm guessing he had to squint at the drawing paper to make sure his car looked different, which it hardly does. The Z4 was designed with a chainsaw, the X3 was made by putting a 5-series wagon cabin and rear end on a 3-series front end and raising it by a couple inches, and redesigning the rear quarter panels to make it look more like the X5. The 1-series looks like it's been in a car accident before it even left the assembly line.

I hate modern BMW designs. Can you tell?
