the belt line is wayyyy too high on that car. no where near enough glass. and the wheels are weird. and the rear is weird. the whole damn car is weird. like its out of some sci fi movie.

its fugly..

the two rear seats are useless.. no leg room

Lexus did that for insurance reasons.

can you explain more?

When it seats 2 it's a 2-seater sports car...

When it seats 4 it's a coupe... insurance is much more reasonable...

not a "masculine" looking car -

it does not have a "timeless" design.

funny, but have you noticed that older sc versions from 5-8 years ago don't particularly look very attractive anymore - at the time i thought they were....

while we are at it, the mercedes slk models also look very "feminine"

the s model's however are very "manly" - and i think better looking.

What an ugly vehicle. It looks like someone had a semi nice design, then passed it through an oven where it partially melted.

actually i just got quotes for the 350z and g35 coupe, and the g35 coupe was marginally more. and the g35 sedan is the same as the 350z. weird. and a sentra se-r is marginally more than the g35 coupe, though the other 3 i listed at 30K and the se-r i listed at 17K... and then a mustang gt, with similar performance to the 350z, is almost twice the premium :Q

I think it had cleaner lines.
The SC400 was sweet because you could do a Supra engine and tranny swap:D:D
