When I see a red cow, I'll get red leather.

Actually the color is thundercloud grey metallic which is not as silvery as millenium silver.

yuck! probably okay for a blonde or redhead woman, but i'd look like a *** driving around in that that!

my wife saw me sit in three different sc430's at the dealer -- egyptian sand pearl, silver, and black. drove home with the black and don't regret it one bit despite the maintenance issues. i found the other colors made the curvaceous sc430 look too feminine. lighter colors would be okay on a viper or vette, but who wants a Dodge or Chevy?

I saw one in ready for delivery at the dealership in Tampa in Jan of 2002 (wish I had my camera with me). I really liked the exterior color - sort of a gunmetal grey or pewter color, much darker than the regular silver. The interior was too red for me, but if you are a red interior fan, you probably would love it.

I might be biased, but I think it is the prettiest SC430 of them all. Thunder Cloud Silver is a great color and photographs really do not do it justice. If you have not seen the car in person you cannot appreciate how nice the color is. Much richer, IMO, than the washed out looking Millenium Silver. It has different hues depending on the light and the angle.

One of the main reasons I wanted the Neiman Marcus was because of the Candy Cane Red leather interior. It looks great. Open the hood and the red engine cover really stands out as being something different than the standard SC430.

I am very happy and dont think it looks "girlish" at all, it just has a girlish name, "Silver Belle".

Only 100 were built. How does the price compare with an equivalent SC430 model?
