That was a very good review, i agreed with almost. everything he said. He described all the great things about the SC430, and also some improvements that Lexus should make, such as putting more emphasis on sport not only luxury.

man that thing has 300 hp and a 4.3 liter engine and it uses less gas then my 3.0 liter 220 hp first gen gs. i swear, the first gen gs uses more gas than 1/2 the suv's out there. 16-17 miles to the gallon in the city driving NORMAL.
