what do you think of the new Lexus SC 430 convertible?

06-13-2002, 01:49 AM

I am looking at buying one in the next couple of weeks (will take at least a month to get the color i want though). the car is growing on me, looks really sweet at the dealership.

it's not a sports car (and i'm not looking for one, i'm keeping my S2000 for tearing around in) - just a great car to cruise/travel long distance in. also considered the MB CLK 430 conv - but they are coming out with a brand new one next year, and i don't want to wait that long ;)

blackrose - in the US, i think around 33K new. yes, it's a really sweet car.

the lexus is good, but it's still a lexus - they try to imitate the real thing with every new car they produce (frankly all lexus designs are stolen merc designs - e.g. 430 is slk). the SL is a better choice in every aspect - power, luxury, speed, exclusivity, beauty. its 30k more, but that shouldn't be a problem for you.

yes, the price is a bit steep - but with cars it's all about how much you want it.

no doubt, the sl is more exlcusive. and so - classic. though for the money, the lexus is also exlcusive, and incredibly well engineered. i've looked at ordering an sl - i would be on a long waiting list to get the color i'd want.

one thing though - the sc430 is meant to be a direct competitor for the clk430 - not the slk. then new clk looks so sweet - but a year till it's ready for purchase

i don't agree. this lexus is really beautiful. better looking than the current mb clk 430 (it's natural competitor). the sl500 is, of course, in another league.

yep, but the design is all slk ;)

and the 430 is listed as a 55-65k car in the us - it's not that cheap either (not that i've checked in an actual dealership).

i'd say the design is much more audi tt than slk. yes, the sc430 isn't cheap, but it's much cheaper than the sl500. about the same price as a clk 430...

but quiet, why not do both - you can buy the 430 now, drive it while you're waiting for your SL order, then sell it - this way you'll get to try everything (of course some money will be lost, but hey, gotta have fun ;)

If you want to buy a Mercedes, buy yourself one with a decent manual gearbox. Or get yourself a German import. If you are going to buy an automatic, you are NOT worth it.

Sebastian.

(1) there is no such thing. the slk's manual is purportedly mb's best stick - have you driven the manual - what a piece of shit.

(2) if you had read this thread, i already own an S2000 - rated as having one of the best shifting manual transmissions on the planet. no mb will ever come close to it - and of course, i am not looking for another sports car. mb doesn't build them.

I knew my remark would get you angry. Don't see it as an attack. Buy whatever you want. It's just my opinion. But if you would go for the Lexus... that's not a bad choice.

By the way, the Honda S2000 is an American car, which is not produced in Europe. I wouldn't know anything about it. I didn't mention it too.

your remark didn't make me angry. and the S2000 is a japanese car, built by hand, in the same factory as the NSX. it's not an american car. but please enlighten me as to an mb with a sweet shifting manual. none exist.

I also want to add one thing. The Mercedes SLK/CLK cars ARE seen as sports cars in Europe. Japanese brands like Mazda, Honda etc. do not produce sports lines here, like Honda does with the S2000 or Toyota does with the Supra.

I can images Americans don't see Mercedes as sportcars. It may not look as agressive as a Honda S2000. But then again, you have speed limits which makes us laugh. I bet you could never get a Mercedes Benz to drive 150-160 mph. I think you'd consider it a sportcar then.

If you want to give it a try, come over to Holland with your Benz and we'll spend the weekend on the German autobahn. It's a nice feeling.

i would consider the slk a 'sort of' sports car. the clk - not at all. sports cars (imo) are light, 2 seaters, convertible, rear wheel drive, with loud/beautiful sounding engines, complete with sweet manual transmissions.

you guys (i think) have the lotus elise - now there is a sports car!! not available in Canada

Sebastian.

driving the way you are describing is 'gt' driving in my mind. a good drive in a sports car is all about low speed, tight turns, on a deserted road. and a manual is a must. you can't even get a manual with the clk, and the slk's is garbage.
