I don't see ANY reliable info that the SC is done. I would never have bought the first gen SC. In my opinion it's so called classic lines made it look like Granny's car... Nothing special, unusual, standout or timeless there. Some people look back and think classic and I think last century, yawn.
When I saw the 2002 SC it definitely jumped out of the crowd and I have come to love its looks. It is definitely different and in my humble opinion - because it is so different - going to be classic.
Looking forward to see the revision.

It looks like the LF-A may be the successor, though it won't be coming soon. Sounds like a screamer though.

The SC has always been a luxury cruising coupe.
The LF-A has a high reving V10 with carbon fiber all over. That car begs to be driven on a track. If you tried to track a stock SC (1st or 2nd gen) you'd have a hard time doing anything but float around corners.
