Sc430 is a car ment for 50yr old women Realtors that still die their hair blond

Nothing wrong with a is350 with a 6-spd.

Honestly...be a baller and buy this

lol please dont get me started on bmw's


and i have to admit that lexus dropped the ball big time on designing the sc430---i really dont know what they were thinking---they should of kept the same theme as the 400 just upgraded it --body wise--engine wise--performance wise----everything.

it is quite feminine looking i agree----but im sure with some rims and some masculine additions it can be a great car ----it definitely beats the is250 imo

also its a drop top --big big plus

Well this poll puts two cars that arent in the same category. This is more of a personal preference type of decision and u would have to base it upon yourself. Do you care about space? or car pooling? or do you drive alone.? Daily driver? do you care about the gas really? are u looking to mod it? All these come into play. For me personally, I would get an SC430 because i love SC's. but if your tired of not having space for your friends or what not than get an IS.

yes the m5 is most certainly a mean machine but i just hate the unreliability of bmw's(maybe the m series is the exception i dont know forsure) and yes the maintenance costs are just off the charts.

I get nothing from seeing a bmw or mercedes anymore due to their bad rep of being unreliable and poorly made and ridiculous parts and service costs.

my fav car used to be the s430-s500-s600 from benz----but i refuse to buy a car that spends so much time in the shop costing me an arm and a leg

im not just saying this because i own one---but lexus is the best way to go when looking for luxury and reliability----i hope to be a lexus owner indefinitely-

not that i have to convince any of you guys lol

cool---i have yet to test drive one but im hoping my day will come.

yes im sure the ls430 is not the most sporty car although it does have 300hp which i was impressed to hear---i think it might share the same engine as the sc430--

good luck on your next car whichever one you choose
