Default Lousy changes for 2004

Anybody out there mad that the Solar Yellow was dropped for 2004? That was (and is) the color that really makes the IS300. Also, how many of you potential Sportcross buyers are irked that Lexus never made the 5-speed available for the SportCross?
And how many of you want to see an SC300?......that was dropped after the last generation car was redesigned and given that trick folding metal top.
Hey, the Lexus marketing people aren't gonna know these things unless we SPEAK UP.

I rarely see the IS 300 SportCross model around my area, but it looks hot and quick

IMO, I don't think the SC300 will be making a comeback in the SC platform, even though it paved the way for the luxury sport coupe line (not to mention its timeless styling). The SC430 proved to be a major changeover from the SC3s and 4s, and Lexus seems to be heading in that kind of direction for the rest of their models. Their mindset has always been about progression (though the current GS is definitely due for a makeover soon!)
