Teh Spotted Thread

Lexus SC430.... Always wonder if these were as bad as they said. The one I saw clearly had a modified exhaust and sounded fantastic.

LS400 also sound great with a decent exhaust and are even more incongruous.

Ugly ugly cars @Matty - always looked super-flabby to me.

They actually look better than I remember. Not saying I'd buy one, mind, too many better choices, despite my Lexii bias.

Not sure I’d class the sc as a small convertible, they always looked like a big Yank targeting boat, more like 5 series / e class size.

Certainly looked smaller than the big SUV boats that surrounded it. 1800 wide, so same as a modern Golf, but fairly long car at 4.5m

Guess it depends on what you'd call small these days given the monsters on the roads.

McLaren 750s

No pics as the owner came back but therefore, got to hear it start up and pull away.

No doubt it’s an amazing machine and every inch of it is function over form,

But by Christ it’s an ugly thing.

What do you think it stands for?

Woodland neighbour has bought an Octa. My favourite SUV and I think way better than a wanky Urus or G63.

Sport Coupe. which ironically it isn’t really either!

[integrale_evo]

I hadn’t ever thought about it, just like I’ve never wondered what LS, GS or IS stood for.

I definitely wouldn’t have ever imagined the S meant small.

A small convertible for me is an slk, z3, mx5 etc

I was wrong then, I thought it was Slightly Camp.

Nor me - now I’ve googled it, the official Lexus names look utter bollocks like they’ve reverse engineered them

SC might as well be Soarer Coupe since the original was just a rebadged Toyota Soarer.

[Rich B]

Nope, it’s still Sports coupe.
