Just when you thought the SC430 would not show up, it does. If you click the link, and scroll down you can see his ratings on the good/bad cars in each class. In the convertible section he said the bad car is the Lexus SC430

"Shopping for an elegant, upmarket convertible? You could have a Jaguar, a Mercedes or . . . this"

ROFL. He is a pretty bright guy when it comes to cars IMO and honestly the 645ci deserves to be on that list but I was shocked to see the Aston Martin on the list.

Top Gear would be dead in the water without him.

alrighty then... because he (and most other Lexus owners) do not like the tail of the 645/650 it is on this list - yes, that part makes a lot of sense

However, I still like the guy - even if his notion of "style" causes a car to be on this list oh and he is not competent enough to understand I-Drive....

there actually was a show where they bashed the sc430 as the worlds most useless car.

The list just shows that opinions are just like feet. Everyones got them but some are smelly. I certainly don't believe a 645 or Vantage should be on anyone's worst list. But, this is Clarkson.

I would have expected the Smart Fortwo on that list. I remember they hated the car.
