I kinda agree on the IS300 as a somewhat replacement for the SC300 for now. I just drove one as a loaner while the SC430 was getting some minor adjustments. VERY sporty and fun to drive! I was surprised by its performance and sure-footedness. Definitely more of a sports car than the SC430.

Not too much of a review for another forum, but I didn't find much use for the e-Shift. Like all Lexus', the shifting is smooth, precise, and keeps it in the power band.

I think my modified one looks better than a regular SC430..... SC430 has like equal length hood and trunklid...... and it's not a MR or RR car. That kinda annoys me. Oh well I don't drive one. If I have the money I'll get one anyways!
