Guys i currently have an IS-F and GS400 as a daily driver....GS400 is a very nice car but build quality and interior is no where near as SC430...My family has an 06 SC430..I love the car but after driving it....car feels like it has less pick up than my GS400 for some reason...Less responsive but on the highway 80+ SC pulls hard....Any other owners agree?

sounds like its the drive by wire you dislike, have a search for the blitz throttle controller.

It is really hard to say with the SC430 because the ECU has a learning capability that learns how you drive and adjusts its performance to match your driving style. So if your family has a laid back driving style, then the SC430 will adjust its performance to match it. You can check it out by switching over to the performance setting or by using the manual feature of the automatic transmission.

In general, the SC430 is not made to be a sports car but rather a sporty luxury car. It is not the quickest car in the Lexus line. IIRC, the SC430 has a 0 - 60 mph time of 5.8 seconds. (I don't remember which of the other Lexus vehicles are quicker but there are one or two others that are.)
