Lexus Sc430... what are your revues?

I'm going to get one, what would you do to one if you had one, or what have you or what do you want to do if you have one.

Feel's like I'm about to get married! [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

The SC430 is extremely heavy (well over 4000 lbs.) and only comes with an automatic transmission. I'd much rather prefer an S2000 (a REAL driving enthusiast's convertible).

I love the car, its a real beauty once you see it and once you drive it. Yes it only comes in automatic, but it still is fast enough. If you want to do anything to the car, you could probably get it at www.rodmillen.com, they dont show anything yet, but they will soon.

I see why no one likes this site anymore.

First of all.. I asked for revues and info as 2k1civicpty posted.

I was one of the first to have the 2k1civ in the US as I bought it FULLY PAYED DAY ONE on my Birthday Sep 1 back in 2000, yes it was not handed to me at the moment, but I had killer dreams for that car as many of you only dream. Unfortunately the car was semi-totalled by some drunk taking a redlight and also broke my left arm last saturday. [my first broken bone in this life thus far btw, knockin' on wood]. With a Sue pending and this newly law-suit I will be able to Later on Trade my Sc430 for a GS400 or a Caddillac Escalade Truck [imo are the best cars on this planet thus far]. Call it what you desire. I don't give a flint.

Second of all... you guys need to stop assuming so much nonsense as you are slowly but efficiently pushing away many members from this site. It makes me sad! [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/IMG] I used to enjoy this site till alot of you new prix starting pokin' out of no where like some unanticipated virus.

Third of all.. I RATHER TAKE THE SC430 over an S2000 anyday. The Luxury it contains will never be seen from within a s2000 [but boy o boy I wanted an s2000 when I got my civic aswell, just didn't wanna hassle with the lease drama. SO I got the cheesy civic. Fortunately the civic saved alot being the MVP of the economical class it stands in. I will miss it, but I don't want another one, lol..

And with 200 shots of NAWWWWWSSSSS in my new baby, what s2000 can stand a chance... pleez, i pitty da fool... apart from the fact that I don't want the car to race in the first place, it's gonna have 20" Chrome wheels [no airbags]. Alba Berthas! [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/IMG] Like I said I will definitely post pix, just gimme some time, for crying out loud, I don't even have the car yet guys, lol. geez Maybe I'll even get in ICE just to run sh*t for a week or two and then go ghost on ICE, lol... jk.

And the is300 is a girLs car. As a matter of fact, my girlfriend has one.

haha modena huh, those r nice, my uncle has one [candy-apple red], but he's rich, live's next to Alonso Morning and even has a frikin elevator IN his Ocean front three story gated mansion.

So haters... play wit it. You know what to do .. or should I hint hint..
[IMG]i/expressions/demon.gif[/IMG] btw girlies I just became 21 Sep.1

SC430 is not a racing car.
it's fast, but it's all about luxuriness.

You are comparing a $65,000 LUXURY convertible with a $32,000 SPORT convertible? Also, you bought an economy car (roughly 15,000-20,000), yet you are moving up to a high-end luxury vehicle?


Oh yes, and assuming you have a 2k1 civic or above, you could not have owned your vehicle for more than 2 years, so I doubt you have risen in your income bracket that drastically. Unless you won the lottery...

I would personally not buy the lexus coupe. I don't like the styling as much as the sedans. So I would go with a sedan. But my neighbor's brother has one, which he loves. So if you like it and you're willing to spend a billion dollars on a coupe... GO FOR IT.

Hey dude I think you need to chill out. I wasn't hating on you or implying that you are not a true car enthusiast because you want to drive an SC430. I was merely pointing out that the SC430 is NOT a driving enthusiast's car and is all about high-end luxury. Personally, I don't give a rat's azz about luxury (you're talking to a guy who has no power steering or A/C in his car). But if you want all that bling bling and 20" chrome wheels, if that makes you happy then go for it.

And btw, even with a 200 shot of NAWWWWS in that heavy-as-hell convertible, the S2000 will still run rings around the SC430 on a road course. And IS300's are not girlie cars - tell that to the Team Lexus members who race the IS300 sportcross to a Top-5 finish in almost every Speedvision Grand Am Cup racing series event.
