Cool

I have been prayin <still am hehe> because I keep reading in every other magazine how toyota is planning on coming out with a new high end sports car, either as toyota < they were talking about resurrection of the supra name a la nissan 350z or mazda rx-8> and a lexus, or just lexus, most likely with a V8, since they want to enter in the same arena of the NSX, SL55, the upcoming BMW <they still havent announced officially if they will call it 6 series again or what> and so on.. so keep your hopes high.. I did heard about the IS getting a coupe and even a convertible once the new engine is introduced, all this to complete the line up competition against all the 3 series from bmw <all we would need is an IS 4 wheel drive!> but who knows... at this point, only time will tell.. therefore I just sit and watch...

I dig the imprinted antennas, reception is better and you aren't letting the whole world know you're listening to the radio when that 4-foot long pole extends out. Maybe the SC430 has a better motorized antenna, personally enhanced by Levinson, but I still don't like them.
I remember Manaray asking the lexus representatives about that particular feature when we were at Fontana. I don't remember the exact reason but there IS a good reason. Something along the lines of coverage for the NAV and the SC430 having both types of antenna's. I might be full of *****. Maybe Manaray will see this and fill you/us in.
