When ever the next gen SC comes out it will for sure have the 4.6 V8 or probably a 5.0 L but who knows.
There is probably a couple people on this site that has insider info about the car.

Since the UZ series of motors is being dropped, I dont see why they'd put an old motor into a new chassis; why not use the newer engine that all the other cars will be using?
I'd imagine it will have the 4.6L and the 8-speed. Probably will make slightly more power than the LS460, 390 perhaps?

I like the current 07 model...especially in matador red, but I would like to see the 4.6 in the 2008 model. Oh well. My fiance doesnt want an SC for our next car anyways, she wants a new Range Rover Supercharged or a LS600hl. The SC will have to wait, I was just curious.

I wonder if Lexus will skip a model year like they did with the SC300/400. The last model year of that car was 2000. There was no 2001, and the SC430 was introduced as a 2002 model, but in early 2001.
Purely conjecture, but if they followed the same pattern the 2008 might be the last model year, there would be no 2009 model, and a brand new 2010 SC would be introduced in early 2009.
The only difference is that the SC300/400 ran for 9 model years (1992-2000). The SC430 would run for 7 model years (2002-2008). If the current SC ran as long as the previous one, a replacement wouldn't be due until 2011!
