Lexus SC4 and Lincoln Mark VIII LSC...separated at birth?
For a split second, I thought the Lincoln Mark VIII parked across the street from my house was a SC400
that needed to go on the Atkins diet!
Anyone else see the similarities? Nothing is styled 'zactly like an SC of course, but are there
any other cars out there that resemble the SC more than the Lincoln Mark VIII ?

sometimes the front end of a Honda Del Sol
when looking at the rear view mirror, a Honda Del Sol's front end can sometimes make me think I'm looking at a SC...

Yes, ford escort ZX2s, and honda del sols... I believe probes bear a slight resemblence. From the back at a glance, 89ish nissan 240SX and like 1990-93 integraa have a similar taillight arrangement. There are a few cars out there that have copied the SC... but A lincoln mark 7 is not one of them.

240SX would be my closest match. The Prelude has some SC cues also. If it weren't for those cheeseball wheels, that Lincoln MarkVIII would look a lot like the SC, but those wheels totally detract from it.

I agree with the 240SX. In fact, since I like coupes, I even visited a Nissan dealer and looked at one before deciding to buy an SC. Size wise, the SC is right in the middle between the SX and the Mark VIII:
SX: 177" length, 99.4" wheelbase
SC: 191.1" length, 105.9" wheelbase
VIII: 207" length, 113" wheelbase
SX: 177" length, 99.4" wheelbase
SC: 191.1" length, 105.9" wheelbase
VIII: 207" length, 113" wheelbase

The Mark VIII's are kind of like the sc in someways- they are highway cars like ours, have a V8, and you cant sleep on them, they have mustang GT engines and are very tunable!

Seperated at birth huh? That means the SC would be Arnold (Ahhnold) and the Lincoln would be Danny Devito.
