Any one see those new Lexus SC-430's?
I guess they target states where a convertiable will sell. I have seen alot of them recently down in south FL. Just this weekend I saw 6 of them. I think it's an ugly, overpriced car though.
I think the SC430 is HOTTTTTT

I would wait the 10 months (local dealer wait time) to get an SL500 at MSRP.....the looks alone is worth the price difference between that and an SC430.
But, I don't hate the SC430.....even though its a bit feminine IMO.

The stocks rims on it have got to go, it does look somewhat feminine, but hard top/convertible is pretty awesome.
SL500 is nice as well, but that is just in a different league cause its extra 30k.

Burn some dust here
I see one every time I go home to my parents. That car is the shit, drive one if you think theyre anything less than that. I do believe that they are a lil feminine looking but who knows. BTW, 19 mos for a new Sl500. My dads Sl55 is 15 mos from now. I WILL POST PICS OF THAT BAD BOY TOO.
After I drive the ever living shit outta it

To me it's really feminine. I have seen a lot of them lately for some reason. Definitely a lot more than CL's... The SL500 is amazing. I saw one on the road the other day. Now, THAT is a car. The Lexus just seems to remind me of a jelly bean

Just drove one a few hours ago, and many times in the last month. My Father-in-Law purchased one about ten months ago and have driven it many times.
Looks are subjective, which I do like it but not love it. The engine is great, smooth and pulls willingly. It does need a different TC to get it off the line with more authority.
The one drawback IMO is the floating, it doesn't handle as a sport touring vehicle should. Too much float and lazy steering feel (aka, typical Lexus)...
