After 17 years, is the SC 430 Dated or Classic looking?

I think these cars still look good today. I hated the way they looked until I browsed the SC430 section of Club Lexus years ago. It really grew on me over time. I think it has the nicest interior of any Lexus. I finally test drove one last year and I had a blast.
At my local Lexus dealership the SC430 is the most sought after used Lexus. They sell quickly and people ask if Lexus will bring it back. The SC430 in my area is very common. I see them everywhere now.

It looked initially fat to me for few weeks, then grew on me, but now I see 3 in1 sporty, luxury and convertible. now after 17 years I add reliability, nothing to compare in the market.

I actually feel like the car still looks fairly modern excluding the front. The profile could just as easily be from today, as well as the rear. especially with LEDs.

The car looks good (and "classic-looking), but it's obvious that it's also dated:
Additionally:
- Wheels would be larger today in proportion to the body, possibly staggered (20" + 21")
- Grill would be MUCH larger today
- Rear track would be wider than the front, not the other way
- Quad exhaust would be likely, with possibly square exhaust tips either chromed or blacked-out
- Windows would be smaller
- Possibly some sharp "character lines", too
Additionally:
- Larger brakes, possibly red
- LED or laser headlights

I’m glad they didn’t. Love the classic looks.
