2010 Direct Injection?!?
I've been searching on every online car sales website on this planet in search of the rarest SC ever... 2010 "COSTA AZUL MICA" and even though I haven't found one anywhere I saw every SC430 between 2002-2009 uses Multi Port Fuel Injection but all the 2010s on cars.com says GDI which means Direct Injection so my question is did they switch to Direct Injection in 2010 or did cars.com a make mistake on the auto information for all 2010 SC430s?? I checked to see if the performance stats changed in that year which they didn't but it is a possibility that it wasn't rated the year due to extremely low and reduced manufactured numbers? Please clarify for me.

Probably not.
I can't imagine the 2010 engine is any different from the 02-09 version. The following info from the Lexus website doesn't indicate any engine changes.
The SC continues its reputation as one of the most heralded hardtop convertibles on the road. For 2010, the SC gets a new exterior color - Costa Azul Mica, replacing Tiger Eye Mica and Opaline Pearl. Also new is a next-generation Navigation System [1] with voice command. Available XM® services include XM® Radio [1] [2] [3], XM NavTraffic® [1] [3], XM NavWeather™ [1] [3] and XM® Sports and Stocks [1] [3]. Audio is enhanced with a standard USB input as well as Bluetooth® audio [4] connectivity for compatible music players, including iPod® [5].
Brown walnut or espresso bird's-eye maple wood trim is paired with Ecru, Camel or Black leather. The 4.3-liter V8 is rated at 288 horsepower [6] and is mated to a six-speed sequential-shift automatic transmission that can adapt to shift gears based on driver's habits and road conditions. On the exterior, the SC adopts new 18-inch six-spoke wheels [7] plus turn indicators integrated in the side mirrors.
