Hm, apparently this person whose page these pics came from used to go(or still does) to the same school that I do.

Looks like Lexus has finally seen the light. Did you notice that the rear end with the top up looks like a CL rear end. Lexus has finally realized who is superior(Acura) and is now trying to bite the image.

Well several sources have said that the SC430 will not be much higher than the current fully loaded SC400 ($63K). However, I'll guess that this would likely be the only lexus model in the current lineup to be marked up.... I'd be willing to bet the ranch on that, if I had a ranch.

I actually like it, a lot. I think it's sleek and refined...somewhat understated, yet classy.
With gizmos like topdown (hard top) temperature control, voice activated controls, a 300 hp engine, and much more, I think it'll be a great car for the money.
Watch out MB.

I have seen this car in person and it is by far the best looking Lexus ever produced (IMO). It did not smack of copycat design in any way, shape, or form. You have to see this car in person to believe it. The interior is SICK it's so gorgeous. Let me tell you, it reminded me of a stinkin' Bugatti when I laid eyes on it. They hit the showrooms in March.

I like silver, but don't like the SC430 in silver. It doesn't seem to work for it like silver on other cars. I really like the SC430 in that deep violet color on display at the NYC autoshow this past spring. It made the SC430 look much more elegant. So if any of you guys don't like the shape of the all new SC, wait till you see it in deep violet.

I think the style is too derivative of other cars. The rear looks like the BMW's Z9 concept and 6 coupe concept. The headlights look like the MB SLK series. The canopy is ripped from the MBCL500. The droopy grill looks like it came from a Chrysler Town & Country. The basic silloute mimicks that of the TT as Eric mentioned. All in all a good design, but hardly original. I think this will go for around $50k. Although inital demand may add a sucker tax of $10k.

Traditionally speaking coupe versions are usually more expensive than Sedans.. BMW 8 series was more than the 7... Mercedes CL series is more than S... Lexus SC series was a little over the LS and will remain that way. There's NO way the SC430 will undercut the LS430 in price..

I know that has been the case traditionally. Cars built for entertainment usually are priced higher than passenger cars. If you look at the competition like the Boxster S and CLK430 convertible, they are priced around $55k. I know Lexus likes to undercut the Germans, so I figured $50k.

I just got off the phone with the Lexus dealer, and they expect a fully loaded SC430 to be at $70K
