I'm really not sure if the SC is going to survive past its current generation. If Lexus releases a $100,000 GT500 then where will that leave room for an $80,000 coupe? I am betting that the new GT is going to be the replacement for the SC.

That being said, it looks fairly good that the GT will be close to the LF-A concept. I want one!

If they do kill the SC, I just hope to god Lexus does make a small amount of 2+2 GT's.

Plus I read somewhere there suppose to be another SC arriving sometime in 2007 or 2008. *Crosses fingers*

One thing if they do make another SC, I have a feeling its going to have the 4.6L or 5.0L so putting out anywhere from 380 - 420 horsepower. Which will be a nice boost in performance before it goes into history. Finally a stocked Lexus that can go sort of near the magical 4 second mark (rough calculations).

Its nice seeing a car company using less horsepower, yet doing so much with it, not like Mercedes.

Well, the SC430 is hardly a real 2+2. I mean, the back seats are REALLY worthless. The seatbacks are a true 90 degrees and the only way you can even fit a kid back there is to have them lay sideways!
