The V6 in the Generation I Solara (through 2003) is non interference. I.E. if the cam timing belt breaks, open valves won't slam into pistons as the engine comes to a stop. The Gen II Solara (2004 and later) V6 is an interference engine. If the belt breaks, there will be some serious and pricey carnage inside the cylinder head as pistons hammer open valves.
This doesn't mean belt replacement on the Gen I car should be ignored. Murphy's Law will almost always apply and the belt will snap in the least convenient place and time possible.
