Default 2008 SC Pebble Beach Edition

My friend got the latest Lexus magazine in the mail. He said it mentions the 2008 SC 430 Pebble Beach edition. Details are it goes on sale in September, with 300-350 being produced. I thought he said the car will be Smokey Granite Mica with an ecru interior.

Does anybody have any more info on this car or other changes to the SC for 2008?

I just got the magazine too...
PB edition will be debuted August 18, arriving in September
Smoky Granite Mica, two-tone camel and ecru leather with espresso bird's eye maple
18-inch six-spoke aluminum allow wheels

Personally I'd like to see the two tone...i think it'll be nice

But given all of the repeat exterior/interior/wood colors probably no new body style. However, the article does word the car as "the debut of the 2008 Lexus SC Pebble Beach Edition"...so pehaps the 460 engine?

Two-tone leather should be nice

to using Smoky Granite on a special edition though, should've used an exclusive paint not available for the regular SC's.

They shouldve used the Amber pearl color from the ES and maybe matched that with a brown interior.

I can't wait to see the two tone. Should be a really good looking car, they just need a new paint. Maybe something like the champagne but a little lighter leaned towards silver....

According to Lexus Mag. quoted in post #2, it will be two-tone camel and ecru leather, & I tend to think it refers to the seats.
Remember all SC430's thus far have a black dash(as well as the strip on the top of the doors above the wood trim) already, & those parts are not leather.
LS600hL does not have 2-tone leather seats, they only make the dash & parts of the doors black.

Actually, the dash, strip on top of the door, headliner and inside of the roof are a REALLY dark brown in the SC430's with the Camel interior. I have one. It's very subtle, but it's really nice. My '03 w/ Saddle interior had black in those areas, so I noticed it immediately.

The Ecru/Camel should look sharp.

Thanks for pointing it out, the camel is a recently added interior for the SC430, still, I've seen it in the show room where it's relatively dark, so the REALLY dark brown looks black to me
