Talk about steppin' onto the red carpet of the Lex Partially biased here, but the black exterior color really catches my eye (I wonder how different it is from the classic Black Onyx?). I still like the blue Pebble Beach SC430 from the '03.

Yeah - I've seen a few SC's rolling around with the new 5-spoke design.

Improves the car's looks 100%

Rims are way nicer. Is Black Diamond a pearl or metallic color? Sounds so sexy!

That's the first SC430 that makes me actually want to own the car. Nice job, and if the paint job is something like Benz's carbon black, I might be in the market for a new convertible next month...

nice... i like the red interior. I dont know about the red and silver engine cover. Might look better as red and black (painted black) cover. but never the less...

It's interesting to see all the differing opinion in this thread.

I, for one, love the outside features but the red interior is a little much.

Right but they could hardly look worse. Those newer rims are only tolerable.

Meh... Doesnt do anything for me.. And I really dont like the headlights. As for the rims, like Bit said, they are tolerable.. There is still room for improvement.

I can't wait until they hit our showroom floor.....I'd be one of the first to peep it

Those sky blue Pebble Beach editions sold like hot cakes when we had them......
Though we only had 3 in a time span of a month and they all sold within hours....we'll see how these new PB editions do.......

Is it just me, or is this "new" wheel design everyone is raving about, simply the old wheel design minus the cover?
