Anyone know what's smaller and sportier about a Camry with the words Solara slapped on it?
And the Challenger? Is that smaller than the Avenger? Even the Mustang is longer and heavier than the Focus. This makes no sense at all. I don't understand why they wouldn't want to race the Challenger and Mustang and Camaro in Nextel Cup - at least they will be V8 rwd cars and roughly similar to the NASCAR chassis which are pseudo coupes.
