Ha! So they are! Honestly I ASSUMED that this car with so low miles on it at a dealer would be bone stock but apparently they did a wheel take off with the GS 5spokes, huh?

I didn't even count...good job inspectors!

Did I see it right? The 2010 white one on eBay doesn't have a rear spoiler. Not looking bad IMO.

Wow, good eye! It doesn't have a spoiler. I actually thought the SC didn't look good without a spoiler...but this one doesn't look too bad. Good catch!

Since I mistook an 02 with updated lights and stereo for a 2010 I stopped guessing.

Mine 2010 came with the chrome six spokes.. I put my tourmalines back on..
let my 04 go with the new wheels. Also came with run flats.. no option there.

There are tons of SC430 in the town I live in, but I guess I do live in a coastal area that got the best weather for a convertible anywhere in the world.

There are 3 SC430s on the short little residential street I live on alone.

I see 3~5 random SC430 driving around my town on any given day. I just saw my 2nd 2010 like I posted above.

I think the stereo itself didn't change, it still sounds the same. But all the interfaces changed, all stereo infos are display on the NAV screen now.

Default 2010 owners

I have noticed in test driving the SC's at least with 2007's and 2008's that the navigation is what I would call very grainy (i am used to the clarity and sharpness of that in both my 09 and 10 RX). Did the navigation become sharper for 2010 or is it just because it is an older version of the navigation disk? Please advise...Thanks

IMO all SCs have a 'grainy' display. I would guess your RXs probably have better resolution especially if the 2010 came with the GEN 6 Nav (Enforme).. 200 SC430s got an upgrade which should've rectified this issue; an update i unfortunately do not have even though i do have a 2010 :'(

Hope this helps..
