[Lexus] La SC non sarà sostituita.

[Touareg 2.5]

Sales of the bulbous Lexus SC 430, one of the vehicles that kick-started the current hardtop convertible fad in the U.S., have slowed so significantly that Toyota's luxury brand has reportedly canceled its replacement. The four-place, V8-powered, rear-wheel-drive vehicle never fit well into any specific niche, as it boasted neither the sportiness of the ragtop Jaguar XK and Porsche 911, nor the snob appeal of the BMW 6 Series. Through the first six months of this year, Lexus sold only 1,230 SC's, down 40% from last year. What fans the Lexus sport coupes/convertible does have need not worry, however, as the brand will be launching the much more potent (and substantially more impressive) LF-A supercar at some point in the future.

E aggiungio io, ci sarà la Lexus IS CC.

Peccato, poteva essere una bella auto, ma lo stile strano, soprattutto per l'Europa l'ha frenata.

L'interno però mi piaceva, molto Jaguar dei bei tempi, sia per la profusione di radica che per il design generale.
