I ended up getting a Supra Hardtop after posting about getting a boosted E46 M3 lol. Next car that will replace Supra is more than likely a R35 GTR.

Having a '92 SC300 since it came out and now "investing" in the mods the SC stays in the family.

My wife got her LS460 and now my daily will be her hand-me-down '01 LS430...

I will be waiting to see how the SC (or LC; whatever name comes out) will be when it finally arrives..... Hope it is not priced too high.... (and they have some nice color options....)

The LS430 is a really nice car. I think the New LF-LC will probably be priced just how the SC was when it came out, so yeah it will be expensive lol.

^^ The "SC"/LF-LC may be more in the $75k-$100k territory, or similar to what the fully loaded UZZ32 Active Soarers went for if you converted for exchange rates and inflation: 8M Yen in 1995 = $64,964 USD in 1995. Adjusted for inflation, today that would be: $99,694 USD.

Currently the RC lineup is closer in prices to what the 1st generation SC line represented in the 90's if you also account for inflation and of course if you factor in that nothing like the RC-F was offered (at least in the USA) at the time.

Will most likely be getting another IS300.

I'm already sick of my 1jz Sc300. Want something more practical and nicer.
The ratty interior was the final straw since it's near impossible to find reasonably priced nice interior pieces.

I previously had an 01 Is300 with a w58 swap, coilovers, bolt ons, ect.
Maybe I'm getting old, but I'll be looking for a newer model (04-05), keeping it auto and adding a few tasteful mods.
Just wanting to keep it simple and not have to worry anymore.

I agree with Ed (LexforLife)....Lexus really dropped the ball on the RC-F. I have heard (from the dealer) they will be releasing a new engine platform, with the refresh, that will seat a bi-turbo motor. All I have to say is its about time.

If they make it available with a 6 speed manual, they will be in business. Otherwise, Tesla it is.

I bought an Infiniti FX35 as a daily and parked the SC for the build.

How did they drop the ball with the RC-F? IMO it's more desirable than an M4 or a C63 AMG because it's the only car that didn't sell out and introduce FI to their motor. It's the only NA V8 out on the market in this segment right now which you just can't get with the competitors.

it depends on how well I'm doing out of college
Original post was in 2010. I'm doing alright out of college...I got a CPO 2010 IS350 last month. I blew the head gasket on my SC300, which I'd driven since 2009, last year, and drove a 96 Avalon for a year before getting the IS. Little bit different financial situation now vs. last year, to say the least.

After this, I'll probably try to get an IS-F, GT-R, XF R, RC-F, or Panamera. Definitely looking to stay four-door, but who wouldn't make an exception for a GT-R or RC-F?
