The first generation SC is such a unique design from Toyota that I have yet to see something that's similar to that classic design.

None of the above for me but I had to choose one so I chose the LS. The LS is hands down the best car that Lexus makes. It symbolizes what Lexus is all about, which is luxury.

The SC while unique I don't feel it will be a classic. Don't mean to offend anyone but IMO it feels an old man's car, it looks like an old man's car and drives like one (stock). One of my good friends had a modded manual SC300, the car was slow, drove like a boat, and the shifter sucked. The older ones are quite cheap these days. They do have quite a loyal fan base though.

No offense taken the SC in stock form is not too exciting but sharing the JZ engine and brakes and suspension with the mkiv helps out a lot.

Yes, but I'd rather have a Supra. Don't get me wrong, I think the SC is definitely a good looking car when it is lowered, has wheels, and a Vertex kit. I was looking into a SC for awhile, for me, I'd have to dump tons of money into it to be happy with it. I guess the good thing is, you can find a project car relatively cheap, it's just a matter of finding a rare clean 5 speed.

There is no current Lexus , BMW (-Z8), or Benz made within the last 20 years that will ever become a classic. People can dream, but that is all it will be;instead they will vote what they drive.
