Does it have the fold-a-way mirror too? I see the steering wheel is also on the correct side of the car, no offense to our friends who drive on the right though.
I believe that front end is unique...it doesn't appear that way in the brochure material for 2010...http://www.toyotareference.com/lexussc#SC

Very nice! Beautiful, classic combination...brand new!!! Love the wheels.
Yes, the front grill (06+), side markers on the mirrors (09+), delete tape add usb/iPod and aux cable outlets (not on this car), newer nav system and a few other updates make the 2010 a sweet ride---ESPECIALLY THE WHEELS!!!
Also to note: Adaptive Front Lighting System (AFS) was added in 2006 I believe.

Here are the changes noted by Lexus for 2010:
The SC continues its reputation as one of the most heralded hardtop convertibles on the road. For 2010, the SC gets a new exterior color - Costa Azul Mica, replacing Tiger Eye Mica and Opaline Pearl. Also new is a next-generation Navigation System [1] with voice command. Available XM® services include XM® Radio [1] [2] [3], XM NavTraffic® [1] [3], XM NavWeather™ [1] [3] and XM® Sports and Stocks [1] [3]. Audio is enhanced with a standard USB input as well as Bluetooth® audio [4] connectivity for compatible music players, including iPod® [5].
Brown walnut or espresso bird's-eye maple wood trim is paired with Ecru, Camel or Black leather. The 4.3-liter V8 is rated at 288 horsepower [6] and is mated to a six-speed sequential-shift automatic transmission that can adapt to shift gears based on driver's habits and road conditions. On the exterior, the SC adopts new 18-inch six-spoke wheels [7] plus turn indicators integrated in the side mirrors.
****DON'T FORGET ABOUT THIS:
The Lexus Personalized Settings (LPS) Program is a one-time, complimentary offer for new vehicles for the first 12 months from the date the vehicle is sold. Please see your Lexus dealer for more information.

Very nice! Congrats! Front bumper id def. different than the US. You have park assist? I notice those sensors on front and back bumpers. Any chance the car has backup camera?

That's the additional air dam opening. Probably needed for hotter countries. Just speculation but probably accurate.

Does the JDM Soarer have the same thing?
