SC is hideous. I would bet they will only sell 1000 a month. Their are 2-3 better options. Its OK looking but its no Lebaron (man they sold a lot of those back in the day).

1600/month? Maybe in the second month, but after that this heap will average 300 units maybe if it’s lucky.

That’s amazing that Lexus had 310 U.S. sales of a car that does not exist. I wonder how many SC430′s they sold.

WTF is a SC 450?

It is btw almost 5K cheaper. I know BMW has more powerful motor and handles better, does it matter that much? Everybody would be driving bimmers, if that was deciding factor.

C’moon what if it will sell? In Arizona, Florida, California it is a reasonable car, not so much north, where RWD will spell trouble during winter. If it is cheaper then BMW convertible it may work (has to be a lot cheaper) but how difficult is that?

the SC is a very old model, it looks the same as it did in 2001 (save for a very slight refresh maybe)… this is exactly why there are no sales on that thing. Also for $65k and the back seat is only good enough for….kids…no, useless back seat. Car is pretty much useless.

Basically the want the sales the SC had back in 2001, 12-15k a month
This is very reasonable, at least for the first 2 years

“Sporty” as compared to what? A Zamboni?

I think it actually looks pretty good. I’ve sat and driven in Lexus’s before and they are very comfortable and sporty.

Old lady down the street has a SC, it’s nice imo, price on the new droptop will prolly help sales expectations.
