Any cent - especially when you want/need the manual shift mode for a more 'sporty' road approach. And you get a bit more miles per gallon if that is at all a point of consideration

The special paint color exclusive to the LS600hL is the Black Opal, a dark purplish blue.

Anybody can tell about the differences the SC430 has had since 2002 ? I know they are minimal, but I heard for instance that the 2006 model has a different front design and different rear lights.

Also I'll appreciate if anybody has a clue if the 2007 model has any changes. I can't believe they haven't upgraded the sound equipment yet, at least they should provide one input for mp3 players.

No satellite radio either, but you can do a pretty easy installation with a Delphi Sky-Fi in the console and antenna on the rear fender or (I believe) on the dash. Congrats on your purchase!
