Very subtle. Front lip matches the new GS a more now in design.
I dont care what anyone says, I still really like this car. And that red leather is hot.
I wish I could hit it big and just drive one with big bow wrapped around it to my parents house and give it to my pops. He loves the car.

i think it is already, and it's looks so STUPID with 4 seats.
A 4 seater? back seats are useless, and on a convertible... just stupid...

No more power? 
Looks nice but they could have went a little further with the changes. The car previously looked very conservative and toy-ish in a way.

Have you seen the people that buy this car? The average driver of SC430 in my area, is either old short guy, or 25-30 years old tiny blonde... They move their seat waaaaay close to the front.

Ehh. Atleast it looks a slight bit more sophisticated... All of the changes are minor and subtle. The wheels are a welcome change. I can't believe they're just now facelifting it (Lexus must want a life cycle similar to the SL's). This car continues to do nothing for me. But an improvement, nonetheless.

I think that all of you would gain new respect of this car once driven one. That is one FUN while super civilized car to drive. Way more fun than the 545 or the E500.

probably designed that way so ppl dont have to pay an arm and a leg in car insurance. there are a bunch of conv's with even less rear leg room. also there for the same reason. there is no way i could ever fit in the back of my friends 3000 gt. not even if i laid across both seats

Very subtle improvement and I think it looks great as did the previous model. The best thing about this one is that they finally changed those nasty rims. Hopefully they wont be using those again.

Burn some dust here
I like the new changes. Looks much better than the one the parents had.
And I agree with Gav on driving one. Compared to other Lexus vehicles, it drives like a "sports car," and not the family sedan that most Lexus's drive like.

Ah well, one of these days MAYBE they'll find an ounce of originality.
