[QUOTE=Cloud9;3240263]Congrats on the SC!

The card key looks something like this:




I don't get much wind noise with the top up. Maybe as much as a regular non-convertible Lexus. I've driven all of my family/relative's rides (RX350, LS460, GS350, IS250) and I'd say the wind noise is about the same +/- a tiny %. I recommend driving another SC and doing some comparing.

Ohhh I get it now, I'm sorry if I seem little 'slow'. I just wasn't getting the purpose of the card key until I saw your pic. So basically it's thin/small enough to keep it in your wallet and in case if you were locked out, you can pull out this key out and get the doors/trunk open. I get it!!! Sounds pretty neat but I doubt they'll order me one. It wouldn't hurt to ask. Thanks for posting the picture.

Well maybe I'm being little paranoid with the wind noise, but it's something I picked up coming from where the gap is. I'll have the dealer to look at it since it's still under warranty.

Once again, thank you for answering all my questions.

some early sc430 had problem with the top and the latch not closing completely. my 2005 was completely quiet. no wind noise. it's one of the quietest cars i have owned so far, behind the ls460l

yes, the key is shown above

Spoke to a service manager at the Hennessy Lexus of Gwinnett. According to him, this can happen to cars that are 3-4 years old and they just need to replace the window rubber portion to seal it more effectively. Taking the car in tomorrow night to get this work done. Sad to leave it over night and drive a loaner but they won't do it on the weekends. Oh well.. I'm just hoping it would come out clean/great!!!

They also have to perform emission testing for state tag purpose. Apparently, I bought the car so quickly, they didn't have a chance to get it tested once it was off their truck. Sounds normal???

Oh yea, and I did get the credit card key. It came with the original manual along with tutorial Navi CD. Is this really helpful?

I had the same "problem" with the emissions/state inspection when I picked up mine. They informed me about a week after I picked up the car that they needed me to get the car tested and the test results brought to them before they could get me my permanent tags.

I had it done at a local garage and they reimbursed me (my dealer is about a 40 min. drive (each way) from my home).

That's exactly what they told me!!! Either I can bring it in and let them do it, or get it done myself and reimburse it. I was little concerned if they were to find anything during the emission testing *knock on wood* but he ensured everything should be fine. We'll have to see...

Thanks for sharing that info.
