SC must be doing a lot of nipping and tugging if it is using either.....which is really stupid because the car is way too small interior wise. Lexus is keeping a lot of people from considering the car. Only ladies and smaller people can fit comfortably (no offense intended, in my point of view average is too small).
the sc is small in interior coz' of the design in the trunk area to fit the whole room, that's why the trunk "area" is much bigger than that of the gs. i could be wrong, but i think the sc430 front is quite long as well coz' of the lower "slick" design that needs more space to fit everything (and tight)

The 1SC V6 offering is from...? But the current SC, even with GS platform, has appointments and a price that matches/exceeds the 3LS.

I hope the new SC will have a larger interior and more rear seat room then the pathetic 2+2 configuration it has now. I know a couple people who laughed when they saw the rear seat room and could not consider the car even though it was high on their lists. I hope it does not look anything like the current model and takes more cues from the original like the 4 headlight treatment that worked so well on the first SC. A more affordable 6 cylinder version would be nice too as well as a fixed roof model.

I'd be almost positive that each Lexus model is its own platform, save for the current SC. Why would Lexus do to their own cars what they're already doing to Toyota cars? Chop and paste it together differently, somehow.
The original SC was its own platform, and then Toyota built the MKIV Supra a year later which used some of the same parts. I don't remember if they're on the same skeleton or not, though.
The SC is not LS based.
