IF the SC330 is a convertible
AND
IF it comes with a manual transmission
THEN
I'm going to have a heck of a time deciding what to do.
Trying to decide whether to take a financial beating on my 430 in order to get *almost* the same car but with a 5- or 6-speed manual, will give me hours of insomnia.

Bob ...
If the *major* differences are that the 330 has a 6-cylinder with a manual transmission, I will seriously consider the "lesser model". However, there may be other differences that would outweigh having a manual transmission.

Whoahhh
Let me get this straight:
You want to sell your V-8, 300hp Lexus at a loss to buy a less expensive car with a smaller engine and a transmission that you have to shift yourself?
I enjoy the diversion of driving the stick shift as much as the next guy, but on a day-to-day basis, the SC430 is set up so you don't have to do that. It does that for me, and leaves me a free hand to hold my beer.
I should pay extra to give that up?
Dude!

Fischer ...
I did omit one IF statement ...
IF it doesn't kill me financially.
However, if I had the option of choosing two models of the exact same car, I would give up a 300hp V8 auto for a 6-cylinder manual ... yes I would.
In my advanced years, speed is much less important to me than the enjoyment of a 5-speed. In fact, I pretty much overdid the speed thing during my youth. How I made it through unscathed is beyond me.
As fas as the beer argument goes, I have one of those hats that holds two cans of beer connected to plastic tubing which goes directly to my thirsty mouth.

Ed and Tim,
The cup holder easily holds two 16 oz. Budweiser cans. You can run a 1/4" plastic tube from the cans to the top of the headliner.
This is much easier than the hat since the weight of the full cans can cause it to slip down over your eyes making it dangerous to drive.
Yeeesh, what's wrong with you guys ? If you're going to give safety tips, at least do it right.

hmmmmm. wonder if I can patent this idea!?
mount beerball in trunk, run a braided stainless steal line up through the front going through a recoiling mechanism (like the one that winds up the electrical cord on your vacuum)
this way you would wouldn't have to swap cans when you run throught your 12 oz's. (and technically you don't have an opened container of alcohol in the passenger compartment!)
Also utilize a NOS tank in the back to keep the beerball nice and cool!
This would be an instant hit with frat boys, and kennedy relatives!
LoL!
ok, being an out of work tech gives me alotta time to think about other stuff! =
