Default SC430 meets G37

My friend and I decided to take a few pictures of our cars; he just purchased a G37 and couldn’t be happier. I must say the power his car has is pretty impressive.

Hope you enjoy the pictures!

Nice colors and pics. Amazing the G37 is all new and teh SC design was on the show circuit in 2001 and both look like they just came out. THe SC has aged so very well!

I like your painted roof too.

You already know what I think of your car, lol. Great shots. Two of my favorite coupes side by side. You can't go wrong with either pick. Never noticed the painted roof on your SC. Very nice touch!........like Mike said, the SC430 is aging quite well.

I would go with the SC430 in this comparo...however...the front of the SC430 with no Lexus logo look really, really bad. I do like the black roof.

Very nice looking cars you and your friend, but I will take the SC 430, G37 is too common want something different.

Nice combo pics. You can really see how small the SC430 is next to the G37.
I just can't imagine what Lexus was thinking when they made the SC430. It's like they targeted it to smaller guys and women. WHy would they do such a dumb thing?

I disagree with that "common" comment. I live in a community with many cars represented. There are a ton of IS cars, I don't know how they stand it. There's also ES cars, 2GS, SC300, RX cars and my 2 3GS. No G37. I see about 3 a day when I'm out and about. I wouldn't call that common.
I see more SC430 than G37 and rightly so, it's been around much longer. SO it not something different by any ones definition. Not any more.

I'm truly impressed how well the SC has aged when sitting next to that new G37. Again, both look very nice.

Lexuschris, were you trying to say the design of the g37 is common? If so I didn't understand. That would be your opinion and thats cool. I still don't agree because the g37 has classic coupe looks...which I love. Sorry.
I was trying to say it's not a common car since there aren't as many on the road as lots of other cars.
