I was at my Lexus dealer today and talking to the salesman that sold me my 16 RX 350. He has just purchased a 07 SC 430 so I snapped a couple of pictures of our cars. They also had a new LC500 so I took a couple of pictures of the old vs new. Interesting to see the difference of 10 years.

SC430 front end looks elegant, understated, and classic. In my opinion the LC500 front end looks comic book silly. I love the Lexus brand but in my opinion the big bulbous spindle grill styling on all the newer models is way off the rails and looks atrocious. I hope this particular style iteration does not last too long, my guess is that it won't.

The difference in style reflects a bit more than 10 years I guess - the SC430 design really was from 2002.

The LC looks pretty crazy next to the SC430. I took pictures of my SC300 next to the LC and thought about how weird they look together but at the same time share many similarities. The LC seems like a direct successor to the original SC though.

I would hope a convertible version of the LC or a true SC430 successor. I love hard top convertibles.
