Talking New 06 Sc430

Well I picked it up Wed afternoon , drove 1310 miles since wed, adv fuel 24.5 mpg at 80 miles per hour, Engine ran at 2050 rpm at 80 mph, gotta love the six speed

Headlights are cool, you can really notice them turning in the back roads at night.

It was a great drive from Portland Oregon

06 Pearl White/Ecru with Walnut

I had the clear bra put on and the dealer treated the Int and ext with a product to keep it clean inside ( sealed all surfaces ) and a no-wax ext.

I hate the dunlop run-flats, handle like crap

Having widnows tinted this week, and will wait for my tein cs coilovers &wald wheels and Tom's roof spoiler, I would recomend the scuff plates to all......

Default Scuff Plates

does the dealer have the scuff plates or are they aftermarket - do they protect the word "Lexus" that lights up in a light blue color in the bottom of the door sill ?

I called my dealership in Houston and a saleman said the addictional 3 new SC's I saw when I drove by today were '06 models. I can't wait to see them in person tomorrow because I really hope they are '06 models. I asked the guy and also gave him hint of what's the diff between '05 and '06, his reply was :"there's no diff".

Why can we only post up 1 pix at the time?
That clear section of the rear tail light is replaced the old round orange.

Front head lights remain same shape with the old ones but they removed the chrome piece. Kinda like MB-S class now.
