Now, from my understanding, it will indeed be a hardtop convt like the SC 430 contrary to earlier reports of it being a hardtop only. New 3.3 liter V-6 good for at least 240hp.
Do you know if it will be this model year for the new SC330??
I asked my guys at Lexus last week and they are so lost its not even funny.. Lexus really keeps it hush hush..

The SC330 convertible is officially confirmed through our sources and will be a 2003 model. It should be available by Oct./Nov. 2002.
The RX 300, GS300, IS300 and ES300 change to RX330, GS330, IS330 and ES330 next year.
Lexus is seriously considering an all-wheel drive option on all models of their cars. Look for it to appear first on the GS series.
This is where I get conflicting info. The ES 330/RX 330 (current bodystlye) and SC 330 may be 2003 models with the 2004 models (what I think) a refreshend ES 330, ALL NEW RX 330 and a SC 330 for 2004. Seeing as sales are also not slow for Lexus, they are in no rush, I would say 2004.
Thing is, I heard a long time ago it would NOT be a convt/hardtop, rather a coupe only....Got some more HW to do
i have also comfirmed that the sc330 is going into production in 2003. it is beening kept very secret by lexus. i was wondering if anyone has anymore inside info in the sc330, such as looks, specs, and options. pics would be very nice.
If this car is ever made by Lexus I am pretty sure that it won't make its way up to Canada due to the fact that we have a very small market here for coupes. Or at least car makers perceive its small.
I see a lot of SC 400's and 430's as well as lots of CLK's...We never got the SC300 and they pulled the SC400 in 97 for the great white north...
