Lexus ES 430????

Have you guys seen this car? I can't find it on the internet but I think this car looks soooooooo kew. It's kinda in the shape of an Audi TT but slightly larger, slightly fancier, and smaller on the top. I've only checked autos.yahoo.com but couldn't find it! I saw it at the body shop that has my car in for detailing, and I saw another one today in Downtown Oakland. Anybody got some info on this car?

Benz SLK has a retractable hard top too. Lexus aint the first. maybe all convertable's will have em now. way more practical for those in cold climates. now imagine a civic or RSX that did that... haha. would be sweet.

In Los Angeles, I only see old stupid airheads driving them just because its a Lexus and it's a SC. They look like they don't fit in with that car. I think it's only people with money to blow or people with low self esteem drive it cuz they need the attention.
Personally, I think the SC is ugly. Looks like it was rushed out.

What kind of people drive them in Oakland?
I hope it isn't like my part of LA. There are people here with new S classes and 7 series that live in crummy apartments with Kia and Hyundai owners. Just sad.

My friend just the SC 430, it's 70k out the door with GPS nav system

I think it's way overpriced!

If I had 70k I would buy Boxter-S, faster, sportier and it's a Porsche.. (plus it's 66k OTD)

SC 430 it's definitely a looker, but not a sport car.. sure it has 4.3l engine, but it's mated to an auto trans with no tiptronic or anything that makes it sportier, and also the car flexes like hell during hard cornering [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG]
