Yea exactly, and the G has the stunning looks that IMO the Lexus does not have, luxury and comfort? hands down Lexus, fun to drive/performance and cool factor, G35 takes it without impracticality

 

The G is a semi-sports car. The SC is an open-top isolation chamber. Both are cool rides in my opinion, but they have such different personalities that it basically comes down to preference. Of course, there's nothing like buying a brand new car, so the G has a big edge in that regard.

 

I believe this would qualify as a sporty (over 550rwhp).

He lives in my area. Sure hope we never meet at a traffic light!

 

^HOT!!!!

I think the SC430 stock is sweet looking, except for the wheels, they are horrible looking. I'm surprised nobody mentioned that the thread started stated that after tip, tax and title in the low $40 range. Well I'm not paying that much, for starters I ain't tipping them sh*t! tax is only $2,200 and thats it, on top of $34,500 thats ~$36,700 total.

 

Just my opinion, but the SC430 is overpriced for what it is! Plus the wheels are ugly as hell and they are set so far inside the wheel well it looks wimpy! I am sure it drives nice and I like the saddle leather, but it is just too frumpy and overpriced for me to look at it!

 

i have a sc300 rite now, considered sc430, but too pricey.
if you guys fix up sc430 as often as the G, it would look SICK.

 

The back of an sc430 looks like a solara.

The SC430 is a wannabe porsche.

 

I don't like how the SC comes with those UGLY wheels that are super tucked
into the fender well... toyota designers . sigh...too much study at school, too
late in their life to experiment lines. imho, the lastest RX, ES, SC, are all
unattractive.

At that price range, one would expect much more. definitely not a guy's car.

 

I would take the SC believe it or not I don't really know why.

 

Ay dynos of that 550 rwhp Sc430, i dont believe it! And tucked is for sure, looks pretty good but want to know more info about it, as far as i know they cannot be tuned like that!

 

I watched the buildup of this car at anderson audio and performance. It is true about the horsepower, I believe it dynoed on medium boost somewhere around 557 whp if i remember correctly. The guys at anderson audio are awsome. Great work, and very proffesional. I would highly recommend them to anybody in the GA area. I stopped in there on many occasions to watch the buildup of this car. Widebody kit, complete engine buildup, custom twin turbo kit, custom interior redone, custom sound system, HUGE RIMS AND TIRES, and a perfect custom pearl white paint job to boot. Check out their web site for more pics.
Those guys really do great work.

opps forgot to put up there web address when i first posted this.

That's pretty blunt!! But, I generally agree. The SC430 is a pretty effeminate car, not unlike the make itself.

 

Both are cool cars in their own way.

My Opinion, Buy New. If you were looking at these two cars (both brand new) then it would be a different story.

Warranty + 0 miles + "new-car smell" = Way cooler than used

just my 2 cents...

By the way, did i mention that white cars are the Sickest!!!???!!!!!

 

Wow that car is pretty sick, props to SC430's for that capability!!!

 

Can you say brand pride? Give me a break people. I bet if the question was Ferrari F430 v. G35, you would all still be like, "The Ferrari is fast, but doesnt have as much room as the G35, hence, I'm taking the G."
I love my G, but If I was filthy rich enough to afford something better, you better believe I'm ditchin the G.
