Congrats! She's a Beauty!!! Interesting grill between the foglights and under the front plate...didn't realize that changed in 2010...or maybe not on US models?

So it comes standard with a spare tire I see. That is a bonus already!

Thanks guys....

Yup, run flat never made it to the middle east.

RCROLLER; I think its part of the facelift, I'm pretty sure I saw the same bumper on american spec'd scs...

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.

Congrats on the 2010!

Members here probably don't notice there is an extra air duct (is it???) on the lower center bumper of your SC.
I saw a pic of that before, but always wonder what that piece really is.

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

Congrats on the new addition. That's the first I've seen with that lower front air duct. All the soarer pics i've seen don't have that duct.
