Default Finally spotted a 2010 on the street........wow!

Finally saw my 1st 2010 SC430 on the street...........wow they are so rare, is like seeing a Veyron on the street for the 1st time The color is silver/Ecru.

The funny thing is, the 2010 just got new mirrors and wheels.......lol.

Have you guys seen any 2010 on the street?

Subtle change on the front spoiler, new fogs and new headlamps. Tails are the same as 2006+, nothing changed in the rear. Right?

I am a new member and I have a 2010...lovely car. I will upload pics soon..matador red and camel interior, very smooth 6 speed transmission. The run flats ruin the feel of the car.

hmm thought they got rid of RFT in the newer models? I would have made them give me non RFT and a spare tire kit or no deal lol

I absolutely love the 6 spoke wheels on the 2010. Wish they were easier to find for sale though. (Aside from the dealer <-- $$$, lol)

Wheels very easy to clean. The RFT's make the car shudder on rough roads with the top down. Is this your experience with the non RFT's?

Can you post more pictures of the nav and how the ipod intergrates with it? We all want to drool

Also, are those Lexus SC430 all season rubber floor mats? I thought they didn't make those for the SC430s.

No changes in the front that were documented...maybe "seems" like it, but not to any of the Lexus information. I've been around/in front of and posted several times 2010 SC's on here. I too thought the front looked different. Perhaps the paint lines around the grill are different? One was MRM the other was MM, I believe. There is a white 2010 for sale now on eBay.

The 2009 model year added the turn signals in the mirrors.

+1 on the wheels. Love the six spoke....sharpest OEM next to the g-spiders IMO.

I believe I posted the interior glove box pics as well on the MM color SC. Do a search I believe it was Nov 2009ish.
