Looks nice, I like the red interior. I'd like to see the paint job in person as I'm sure it's awesome :thumbup: Hard to tell exactly what the Black Diamond is from the pics tho :o

Any word on pricing compared to a regular SC430?

Talk about steppin' onto the red carpet of the Lex ;) Partially biased here, but the black exterior color really catches my eye (I wonder how different it is from the classic Black Onyx?). I still like the blue Pebble Beach SC430 from the '03.

Yeah - I've seen a few SC's rolling around with the new 5-spoke design.

Improves the car's looks 100% :thumbup:

Rims are way nicer. Is Black Diamond a pearl or metallic color? Sounds so sexy! :eek2:

That's the first SC430 that makes me actually want to own the car. Nice job, and if the paint job is something like Benz's carbon black, I might be in the market for a new convertible next month... :D

nice... i like the red interior. I dont know about the red and silver engine cover. Might look better as red and black (painted black) cover. but never the less...:thumbup:

Really like it. The color is gonna be so hot in person and as usual the interior is beautiful.

It's interesting to see all the differing opinion in this thread.

I, for one, love the outside features but the red interior is a little much.

Right but they could hardly look worse. Those newer rims are only tolerable.

Meh... Doesnt do anything for me.. And I really dont like the headlights. As for the rims, like Bit said, they are tolerable.. There is still room for improvement.

I can't wait until they hit our showroom floor.....I'd be one of the first to peep it:D

Those sky blue Pebble Beach editions sold like hot cakes when we had them......
Though we only had 3 in a time span of a month and they all sold within hours....we'll see how these new PB editions do.......

Is it just me, or is this "new" wheel design everyone is raving about, simply the old wheel design minus the cover?

totally agree, the stock wheels on the sc430 is horrible, no matter which one.

if i were to get sc430, the wheels would be no brainer right next to lowering

Yeah, with a new cover on top of it. I don't understand why Lexus is too cheap to just remake those wheels.

Since they're offering this model in such a nice coat of black paint, I think they should also offer a set of black wheels with a polished chrome/silver lip...


I saw a black MB coupe (SL, I believe) with exactly the type of wheels as described above, and it looked absolutely stunning... Despite the colour of the wheels, the car STILL looked incredibly classy (unlike most cars that have distinct-coloured wheels).

Nice interior, has a show car look to it, but Toyota is holding out on us... The red & black are nice. There 4 available interiors, they offer 3 and made the 4th a special ed. Go figure.

OMG it didn't look that red in the computer-rendered pics posted by Sick.

Staring at all that red in the new pics is now making me dizzy, eyes sore and plain sick.
I can't imagine sitting in that bloody thing and driving it in any extended trip.

Do they REALLY have to make the interior that shiny, bright, red? X-Q (Where's that "puke" smiley when you need it?)

I would like it better if they use two-tone red & black leather for the seats & door panels, & carbon fibre instead of the black wood for this car.
