k e6nbfcisf slumtoullnmumy mdrcsooo 0 c new toyota camry solara convertible unveiled by toyota wanna drop the top for a picture a voice piped up from the back seat as we slipslided along the road i blinked through the solaras windshield at the foot or so of fresh snow that had fallen overnight another load of the white stuff seemed to be blowing sideways the morning after we were in a convertible the car was dirty with splash es of brown slush splattered along the sides and fenders huh a picture these toyota tekkies are a coupla loons i thought to myself yup definitely my kind of guys sure i answered aloud lets do it so we found a spot near the toronto windsurfing club down by cherry beach where i took pictures and worried about shooting a white car against all that white snow and exacdy how much of that falling snow was falling into the soft tan leather inte rior of a prototype that might be appearing at the toronto auto show in the next few days the toyota guys just stood there in boots and parkas grinning like kids on a snow day enjoy ing the irony of driving convertibles in winter and speaking of irony isnt it kind of iron ic i asked later building a california car like the solara convertible up here in cold cold canada after all only about five percent of the solara convertibles manufactured at the toyota motor manufacturing canada i plant tmmc will stay in this country the bulk of the up to 50000 or so vehicles i are sun beltdestined to be sold in 1 warmer climes no thats not ironic david stone toyota canadas pr poobah told me i thats actually a canadian manufactur- i ing success story i the tmmc plant in cambridge is the i exclusive production site for the solara a madefornorth america convertible the facility employs over 2700 people and is a threetime winner of the jd power gold plant award for initial quality the 28 million sq ft facility also produces toyota corollas and camry solara coupes and has a combined capacity of 200000 units per year part of this success story is built on an evolution of product that started with the debut of the californiadesigned toyota solara concept convertible first shown at the chicago auto show three years ago convertibles are a nice show piece but they dont sell in big numbers so the design was refined into a production hardtop that went on sale about a year ago as part of the camry lineup even the camry solara coupe was a bit of a gamble what with the current truck and sport util ity craze but fads come and go and toyotas hopes were pinned on a genera tion of empty nesters who freed from their minivan obligations or just plain tired of trucks might turn back to smaller sportier modes of transportation the camry solara coupe gamble paid off in respectable sales numbers but toyota had not forgotten the original excitement of the solara convertible con cept so now we have strikingly true to the original concept the 2000 solara convert ible a reality at last said tony wearing toyota canadas vp of sales the allnew solara convertible is a joint venture between tmmc and asc american sunroof company which opened a production facility near the toyota plant in cambridge production of the solara convertible goes through several different stages a coupe body shell will be built at tmmc then shipped to asc for removal of the roof and convertiblespecific reinforce ment the body is then returned to tmmc for painting and interior fitting then its back to asc for interior trim quarter windows convertible installation and final detail work final inspection and quality testing takes place at tmmc before delivery that seems like a lot of bouncing around back and forth between the two plants but as don mcfalls vice president of quality at tmmc told me its worth it if the extra steps combine toyota product quality with the driving fun and lifestyle of a convertible the toyota camry solara convertible is powered by a 30l 200 hp v6 engine mated to a standard 4speed electroni callycontrolled automatic transmission estimated combined cityhighway fuel rating is 106l 100 km the new convertible rides on a 4- wheel independent macpherson struts bolstered by front and rear stabilizer bars antivibration subframes and gasfilled shocks for sportier handling an upgrade package with special 16- inch alloy wheels and tires and tighter suspension tuning is available
