Very neat photo.

I, too, was very disappointed to see Toyota put the SC430 styling on the back end of such a crappy car as the Solara, and I think someone has been Photoshopping his license plate.

Solara with a German accent!

Anyway Roofless, weren't you afraid he'd get back early and door ding you? Too close for my comfort!

Solara? That's a 6 Series and an SC430, right?

Not to open a can of worms here, but I think it's about time Lexus is thinking of a redesign of the SC430, if they haven't started. The same current design has stretched out for 4 consecutive model years, and it's time to start a new era. Notwithstanding the comparison of the rear designs of the Solara and the SC, the Solara has already stepped up in the redesign field, along with the Audi convertible and the introduction of the BMW 6-series convertible. Lexus has got to do the same if they want to keep up with the coupe/convertible competition

well, considering that the GS went all the way from 98 and won't be changed until next yr, redesign of the sc won't happen for a while i guess. new gs next yr, new is the yr after. i think there is a facelift of the sc end of next yr

knowing toyota/lexus, they'll probably just change the tail lights (05 ES and camry).

btw, the 6-series looks like the mercury cougar to me....

I honestly think the SC rear is much nicer. The 6, you can tell how much bigger in dimensions it is with that pic. Nice photo

well of course the sc430 is so much nicer. doesn't handle bad, looks nice (subjective), much cheaper, and much more reliable

though the 6 being larger that doesn't bother me much. plus it runs so nice too

oh yeah tell me about it, maybe they are just helping out their sales team

when i was at the dealership, i heard some sales trying to sell the "rear wind screen" and how it helps, and i heard the guy asking "rear window? what? the roof is down?"
