I have had my car about 8 months now and I get a compliment every couple of weeks or so. More regularly now since it is summer top down weather. SCs are fairly common in the NoVa area, (though I imagine, not as much as Florida) so it is not so unique to see others on the road. Comments are usually: "That's a beautiful leather color!", "Is it black?...no wait, it's GREEN!", "A 2002?!? Really, it looks brand new!" and the ubiquitous, "Cool car!". I love the proud parent feeling!!!!!

Yup, people are always saying nice things about the car, especially when my wife is driving it! When I said I got beat by a 80 Camaro it was for a place in the car show not a race! The Camaro was one you wouldn't even notice driving by, plane jane, totally stock, not even a Z28! Go figure???

That's an interesting observation. I, too, have had inquiries from people who had no idea it was a Lexus (despite all the badges). I think there are a lot of people who associate Lexus with the big sedans (which are wonderful) and the SUVs, many of which are very big. And everyone knows about the RX350, which is ubiquitous. Fewer know about the little convertible, especially now that the SC300 and 400 have just about disappeared from the road.
I'm glad to help spread the good word.

I mostly get just a thumbs up at traffic lights and an occasional "nice car" with nod. Definitely enjoy the comments after just washing and polishing, then going out for a spin.

The SC430 is a very stylish and unique looking car, it will never go out of style, it will turn heads forever.
This is why I love mine, even though I would like to have the speed of the Nissan R35 GTR, but I rather have the styling of the SC430 over the speed of the GTR. The GTR look cheap and ricy.
