I have been a car nut for years, but I have never seen a 2 door Camry AT ALL! Was the 2 door available in the US market and simply a rare bird indeed, or was it only available in non-us markets?

The Camry Coupe, first released in 1994, was not as popular as its 4 door sibling, but it was in demand and manufactured both in North America and Japan.
After sales started to falter, it was discontinued in 1997. The Camry Solara coupe was then created and established its own identity, yet still very similar to the Camry sedan in many ways, in 1999.

The styling features such as headlights/tail lights, grill, trunk, fenders, bumpers and other cosmetic modifications were truly the only major differences...the mechanical nature, however was very, very similiar if not identical in most cases, depending on which country they were made.


The Camry Solara made up a large portion of Toyota's sales, however they discontinued the 2 door model in 2009 after sales began to fall. I am not sure if they will resurrect the Solara or not, but I know that those who have been loyal owners and fans will mourn its passing quite dearly.


I hope this helps! God bless!

they were not all that rare and oddly enough the us is the only country that got camry coupes

The Camry coupe was produced exclusively in Georgetown, KY. It was sold in the U.S. and also exported.

Here's the original PR release from Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A. from 1993

I sold the 94 back to the previous owner (Bigbird)...It no longer exists

I had the 96 painted Barcelona Red, and its in my signature.

thanks for the info guys...any day that you learn something is never a waste. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL

[LostSouthernStar]

You're most welcome my friend! Merry Christmas and God bless!

Yep, made them right here. I see maybe one or two a day, most are in decent to poor shape. I feel bad for them. Maybe some of you should come rescue a few of them.

And what happened to Bigbird's coupe? I've missed a few things it seems.
