I'll be interesting to see how longer it stays alive.

Go to "corporate", then "sales results", look up all their December sales result press releases for 2001 to 2005, & look at their "year-to-date" sales numbers in December for the SC430.

The changes for 2006 hardly qualify as a "face lift."
Nobody but a true SC afficianado can tell any difference.
I'd say it was a little eyeliner and a new brand of blush.

They will still produce and sell more SCs here in the states this year than BMW sold of my old car, an M Coupe, for all years and models thru out the world. What gets me is that BMW kept that "Lovely" looking car for 4 years and are about to release a new one.
And the real gotcha is that there is about twice the aftermarket support for the M vs the SC... But I found the SC numbers very interesting. I didn't think they sold that many...

Thats nice. Good find.
I remember way back in the day Lexus stated that they wanted to sell 12,000 the first year and 10,000 the following years. The first 2 years they exceeded their goals and was around it the following 2 years. IMO the SC is still doing good. In its 6th year I think the SC430 has aged quite well.
I have been seeing quite a few of the 06 SC's in Jersey and NYC now. Everytime I see it I snap my neck looking at it. The little improvements helped a lot IMO. Grill, extra chrome pieces, new lights, nicer looking rims(love that dark shade/tint the new wheels have), and the biggest improvement IMO are the newer colors. The colors look damn near perfect for this car.

Had it been a 06 SC460 with 380hp instead of 288hp of today ,I would say it' s sales would probably at least stay more steady at about 8000+ as in 2005.

fact is in most cases, it's the style of the sc430 that sells, not the performance
