The more and more I see of that SC430, the less and less it does anything for me.....red is cool, but isn't cutting it.

In order for the SC430 to look good, you have to put some aftermarket rims on it. Those stock rims are hideous for a car costing that much!

That Lexus is Ugleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
But, heh, that's what name recognition and market share do for you. You can build an ugly ass car that doesn't even have a sportshift and it can be the hottest car on the market. Do you think if Acura did the same it would get a similar reception? I doubt it.

Acura=case study in how to lose market share to other more ambitious, adventurous auto makers (but, then again, I probably couldn't afford an Acura if they had kept up with Lexus).

Wait til you see one in person... they are tiny. They look like they're about the length of a Metro.

I want so much to love the new SC430, but I, too, think it's just plain ugly.

I saw a red one on the fwy the other day. I drove in front of it, behind it, beside it and came to conclusion that it's just ugly.

Its the details that make a car.

Fuck the overall appearance.

Its the details that make things worth the money... the little luxuries.

Like the brushed aluminum door sills with illuminated Lexus scripting.

The fact that there is a real wood cover that automatically comes out of the dash to cover the stereo & navi.

The nice emblem on the wheel... all the nice trim... the beautiful leather. And the top quality wood.

Look at the quality of the carpet... and where the carpet meets console pieces... its all beautifully detailed... take a look at that section of OUR car... it will mke ya throw up! lol

Look at the lather wrapped console... the emblems on the back of the headrests... the FULL leather all around (we have vinyl in most spots)

Look at the nice placement of the tweeters in the door... with the nice chrome trim... our tweeters are shit looking... look aftermarket ghetto like

I definately think you get what you pay for with everything.

Unfortunately I cant afford the 70k to pay for thos elittle things! lol

I don't know if it is an acquired taste or what, but I can't seem to like the SC430.
It seems somewhat disproportioned to me.

Am I the only one to notice that?
