Confirmed! Lexus SC 430 to be Discontinued in July
We've been hearing the reports and drawing our conclusions for some time now, but Lexus has just made it official. The SC 430 luxury hardtop convertible will be no more after July of this year. Having soldiered on largely unchanged for nearly a decade (save for a few special edition models), the second-generation SC's withdrawal from the market is long overdue.
Demand for the SC430 has been steady declining the latter half of the last decade. With the highwater mark set at 14,462 vehicles in 2002, 2009 saw just under 1000 SC430s sold, with 720 of them sold in the U.S. In this final year of production, Lexus will produce approximately 300 cars.
