I was eating at the Chipotle (best place evar) near UMD recently and I noticed a horrid-looking new lexus in the parking lot. It's supposed to be modern and sporty looking I'd imagine, but I think it just looks ridiculous. Anyway, while I'm eating in Chipotle, Juan Dixon (guard of 2001-2002 Terps, for those uninformed) comes in and has himself a burrito. This wasn't terribly surprising because he was a student until a couple months ago, but I didn't expect to see him around anymore since he's a millionare in the NBA now. I finish up my meal and head out to my car and as I'm driving away, the Lexus pulls out in front of me and lo-and-behold juan dixon's driving it.

So, if this post has a point it's either money doesn't buy taste OR what the hell is that Lexus model? It's not on Lexus.com and I can't find mention of it elsewhere. I saw another one on the road, and it's driving me crazy now. Anyone seen/heard/know anything about it?

nope, i probably should have specified. (i think the sc430 is sweet.)

as far as i can tell, it's not a 2002 model LS, GS, ES, IS, SC, LX or RX

And you're sure it was a Lexus?

on second look, it IS the sc430. i saw the pics of it with the top down, and it looks nice, but that hard top (combined with the body) is ghastly, IMO.

I figured that's what it had to be, since it's pretty much the only Lexus any self-respecting, suddenly wealthy 20 something would drive.
