The last opponaut that tried this actually got to drive one. They stopped with the love.

Eh, I think I’d enjoy the crap out of a RWD V8 GT car.

Still too early. It takes about 15 years for cars, especially power hardtops, to get that sweet sweet unconditional Oppo lovin’. You’re ahead of the curve.

I like them. However they are the most bland of the grand touring cars. I'd rather have an XLR. Nevertheless they get more hate then they deserve

True, but that Lexus reliability makes it for me.

This is a car that I am okay with being stanced.

It's a terrible car, but making it worse actually makes it better.

You need an asterisk by the V8 and quotes around GT. By the time you send 288hp through that ancient 5 speed auto, pushing a 3800+ pound compact riding on a Toyota suspension, it’s going to feel like a 3 cylinder minivan.

But at least you can enjoy that melted soap bar styling!

So why not an R230 SL500/SL550 Mercedes? Much better riding and driving car than the SC430.

My mother got one to replace her E85 BMW. I may have to go find an SL600 because I love hideously expensive repair bills. (Also V12)

The correct answer is R230 Mercedes SL. This one was acquired by my mother, and immediately hooned by me.

I worked for a guy with an SL55 version of the R230. Crazy weight, but awesome power. I’d propose the XLR-V as a better alternative to the SC430 — night and day difference.

That’s what they thought, until they drove it. This is coming from a Toyota fan boy. They are crap, reliable crap, but crap.

XLR is a great alternative to an SC430.

Actually a bus is a better alternative to the SC430.

I’m picturing an ad with the XLR-V next to an SC430 and the caption, “Like a hot knife through butter.”

No. I'm fully on board with the SC400, though.

If it’s as terrible to drive as people say it is, at least it won’t be as ruined when stanced.

So even though I just gave you the business on another post, I swear I’m not just trying to be a dick. I actually liked this car until I drove it. It’s absolute garbage. Hot, smelly garbage. I’d love to get behind the wheel of the previous generation though.
