Yeah, the J-Spec models differ slightly over the years than ours. They also have some interior differences (LOL, obviously the right side!) and the parking sensors, side markers on the fenders and the dash looks different.

Just the nav alone looks better! Some different buttons on the stereo for sure. Looks like they have a mute button?

Now that we're going granular, what I don't see is a read-out for the stereo, radio station, cd tracks, etc. Perhaps it's linked to the navigation screen like most other modern cars and newer Lexus's.

+1 I believe so sixonemale

You can tell by the graphics that it's a better nav. Looks like the 09+ nav

www.lexus.jp is the Lexus of Japan website. I was able to figure out how to get to the CPO AND the used car listings of the dealers over there.

Why? I'm still on my quest to find "actual" (not web artwork) of the 2010 Eternal Jewel Edition. I have looked high and low.

Ultimately, I think I need to be able to type in Japanese on a Japanese search engine "eternal jewel spotted sc430" or something like that on a site.

Nonetheless, I did cough up some pretty cool pics of a unique Blue SC430 (circa 2004 Pebble Beach in US) and that fabulous yellow/green color introduced in 2009. Also appears to be a pretty champagne color car too-not mercury metallic and not our gold-something in between. I went KOOKOO for Cocoa Puffs when I saw the red interiors on the silver cars and of course the white (my fav 07 PB).

I'll be quiet and just post the pics! Enjoy!
I haven't seen any pic of the real eternal jewel, either.
Lexus only sold 328 Sc430s in the US last year (720 in 2009), so I wonder how many could be sold in Japan (256 in 2009).

There is a possibility that none of the eternal jewel (limited to 200 on pre-ordered basis) was sold.
