Personally I think there is too much fighting that goes on in SC300/400 forum from the times that I have ventured in there, but I could be way off base.. I voted "NO" but to be honest you could merge them since we don't generate alot of posts here.. So from that aspect it is a good idea..

I see 4 people have voted but if you vote please tell us why to make this place better.. THANKS!!

I think it would be better to keep them seperate IMO. I have an SC430 and a SC400. If they were merged together again you would have to read through each thread to find info on your particular model. I like being able to go to the 430 or 300/400 forum depending on what info or questions I may have/need. As the amount of people with SC430's grow, I think two seperate forums would be best.

Default Prefer two boards

They are very different models - with totally different issues and threads. I would be much less interested if I had to weed through SC400 stuff to get to stuff about my new 430.

I love the SC400 - I had one of the first 10 years ago - ordered before car was officially announced - but I am not that intereseted in reading about it now.

Sorta like merging the RX and LX forums...doesn't make sense to me.

My two cents...

That is actually a Smart Idea, if the GS430/400/300 aren't serperate, why should the SC's be seperate, it would probably be better, because u figure someone may know something about the SC430, but only goes into the SC400/300 forum, and as far as looking through everything, it's not that hard, u could either use the search button, or u could just scroll back through the threads which would only take like ten minutes to look over a months worth of threads

i voted no because like others said, they are 2 totally different cars. if they were similar then i wouldve voted yes. for instance, if this poll was for a gs400/430, then i wouldve voted yes.
dont get me wrong, i love the sc400 also, imo its a very very nice looking car. i was considering it for awhile too....

Default No to the merger

I say leave them seperate, they are 2 totally different cars. Do not get me wrong, I love the SC400, I owned 2 of them, loved them from start to finish. I just think that it would be better to have 2 different forums.
In the past I have seen forums with similar cars (like the SC300 and SC400) and there always seems to be a lot of off topic silly arguments about who's car is better. This is only my opinion.

Default Keep them separate

I come here precisely because it is a site devoted to my very special car.

If I had to sort through other models to find things relevant to me I frankly wouldn't bother coming!

Not a good idea....seems to be a lot of SC400 owners not being able to relate with the SC430 owners. I happen to like things the way they are. The people that have an SC430 seem to have better, more specific posts. This could be simply because a small few come into the 430 forum and dont have much to contribute to us. What is the harm in leaving them seperate?

Ok, points taken. The reason I ask this is because, like ShowYourGSLUV, the GS forums are not apart.

But if members want it apart, apart it will be.

I will leave the poll up for another week for some of our other SC430 members can view this poll and vote

Thanks

No, they should have named it the LC 430, different car, different people.

I'd prefer to keep it separate.
