Been reading a few sources that mention a redesign for the hideous SC430 in 2009. Apparently it will be fitted with the -FE 4.6 V8 seen in the new LS.. That will make it the SC460 :-)!

Should be interesting to see how the new SC looks compared to the latest new models, wouldn't be surprised if it shares similar styling from the IS /GS series, who knows. Will be interesting to see how it will compare to the legendary SC400 91-2000 shape!

Anyone seen any concepts designs?

I don't mind the SC430 shape really. Seen some pretty hot examples. Just needs to be a bit "meaner".

Briefly mentions it, not sure where they sourced it from but Im sure since the SC is dating lately, it would make one expect a change in the next coupe of years.

One of the most interesting things on that link is the IS Coupe! What a car that will be, Hopefully will come out in the IS350 coupe version, that would fly. Be bit like a soarer in some ways! Close to 100k Id expect too!

The JDM SuperGT SC430 looks hot though.

I don't mind the 430. It doesn't photograph well though.

Its an alright car, if it was something else it would be fine but the fact its was the "improvement" of the original soarer just doesn't make sense. They lost the entire style and amazement the original model had.
