Default 3rd generation SC in 2011? Perhaps.

If you look at the most recent edition of the "official" SC color charts (toyotareference.com) you will see a chart for the 3rd generation SC ("2011--coming soon"), but no picture. News to me. Any info on this out there? And yes, Lexus does know/keeps secret a lot that I don't know.

2010 is the last year for the SC430.

The next generation SC is planned for 2014. Yeah, there's a gap, and I can only speculate why.

By then, I think the SC will have a new V8 that differs from the current V8 found in the LS460 and GS460. We'll have to wait and see...

This would be great, Lexus could sell the members on this board a million dollars worth of another bumper and headlight update. Can I get an 06 upgrade when you guys do this. $25 deposit now?

its ok. What really made the SCs so nice and unique was their extended body style. Now it just looks like your average coupe

Nice nonetheless

I love that rendering, and color... would definitely have to get one.

Looks boring to me. The current SC was very unique and beautiful when it came out. This is not in my opinion. It looks too much like every other boring Lexus currently offered. I wish Lexus would go back to making a few of their offerings different from the rest of the lineup. Plus, it looks even smaller than the ISC.

I agree whole heartedly.
the current 430 is a gem that shines compared to the bland L lineup.

years ago, I bought the Infiniti J30 and felt the same way.
likewise, a gem among lifeless motoring rocks.

to keep us all, L must think outside their safe blandness.
