tabasco,

Re the SC430, my friend, John (who sold me his NSX), has not yet received the car - I believe it comes in at the end of this week, perhaps even today. I saw several at the Lexus dealership late last week, and if I were in the market for a luxury GT cruiser (like the Lexus is), I would personally recommend you buy a CLK430 Cab like I've got instead of the SC430. At least it has a usable back seat, and with the 4.3 V8 (with 275 hp) it's certainly no slouch. Probably handles better than the Lexus as well. Automobile magazine just compared the CLK430 Cab, the Jag XK8 Convertible and the Lexus SC430, and the Mercedes won the comparison test.

If you personally are choosing between the NSX and the Lexus, I'd choose the NSX. In my opinion, the Lexus is a top-down GT cruiser for the "more mature" generation (if you know what I mean), and quite possibly has the ugliest looking wheels I've ever seen. It will be quite the novelty for some time, being new and all, but I don't like the car.

Re the NSX, I paid my friend $36,000 for it. 18,300 miles and in 99+ point condition.
