I think its what your going for. A luxary sedan that will ride at least 3 other passengers or a sporty car that will take only one more. I myself bought the sc because I had had a sedan before and rarely had anyone in the rear seat. My children were grown and my wife was usually the only person who rode with me. I told my wife I was not going to buy another car unless I "loved" it. She said she could not love a car. While we were waiting for her SUV to come in we rode in my sc. She said if she could love a car she could love the sc.

Very niiiice, Henry. I think you and Ritsa made the right color choice. And..hmm..that "no front plate" handwriting does look awfully familiar!!

i wonder if you guys have any little problems with the car? i have rattle on the doors (found out to be the wood trims, they are rattling when base is strong), and there is a squeak/rattle in the pessenger back that i still can't locate
guess the car is way too quiet, so i can actaully hear all these small noise
and i guess i really miss the power on my gs4.... this past weekend i went back to LA where my wife is driving the gs4 right now. she picked me up at airport, and gosh is the gs4 super fast... i was like an idiot gunning the car every time... hopefully i can get tc and lsd for the sc430 soon. the throttle i can't fix, but i can care less about the cel

Oh man Henry good choice and quite the surprise! So guess it's not the 997 but seeing as how it's for Mimi and just saturated in luxury, I guess you really made the right choice. I usually don't like the saddle but on white it really looks amazing. I can't wait to see it once the two of you are all done! Oh, and sorry for giving you a tough time in the last teaser threads

i didn't even consider the 997 coz' of the stupid markup now, plus getting a new porsche you are getting hammered bad on the depreciation it's not even fun. that's why it's only used. however the prices of used 911 turbo is still pretty high, and i know over time it's just more maintanance.we get the sc430 new so we will be hit wit the depreciation too, but after doing all the math and what not, it still came out better
you will never believe the residual on the sc430, it's very high!but it was fun seeing you guys guess though

we saw your car during eos3, and to be honest your car was the single car that we remembered most. my wife always like the white sc430, and she just kept on going "henry, see that" "henry so nice " "henry, when?"
