I had a gentleman talk to me on a road trip in Carmel by the Sea. He complimented my 2000 SC400 and talked about his friend having one. The car really is a killer ride for long road trips.

Middle aged women seem to really like the sc, for whatever reason.. They're the ones who say "what kind of car is that? Oh my it's pretty!" at gas stations. They just naively like the shape and think its attractive. A smalls section of under-35 males also appreciate it, but the rate of old women liking the car is kind of humorous. Young women like the car well enough but don't get excited (****.)

On the topic of SF hills and manuals a few pages back, I never really had any trouble in the old 80's bmws I drove back then, it was more fun than troublesome. I imagine car-to-car the experience could be horrible in some cases.

I had an older gentlemen compliment my sc300. He also asked if it was a 300 or 400 even though it says it on the back lol. We talked he seemed to know the sc400s got faster in the last 2 years because he had a friend with one.
