Year to Year Changes
2003 Lexus SC:
This upper-crust convertible added optional Lexus Link service as its sole change for 2003. Also available for the LS 430, Lexus Link was basically GM's OnStar system, with similar emergency assistance and concierge services, but monitored by a separate Lexus-only staff of operators.
2004 Lexus SC:
A limited-production Pebble Beach Edition debuted for 2004. Only about 400 were to be built. Each featured Azure Pearl paint, Ecru leather upholstery, a rear spoiler, run-flat tires, special badging--and even a leather golf bag.
2005 Lexus SC:
SC 430 lost its Lexus Link assistance system, but otherwise saw only detail changes this year. For 2005, the SC 430 got revised shock absorbers and a navigation system with more-detailed screen graphics and a larger DVD database.
2006 Lexus SC:
A 6-speed automatic transmission and cosmetic touch-ups marked this upper-crust convertible for 2006.
2007 Lexus SC:
The addition of standard front-knee airbags marked 2007 for Lexus' convertible.
2008 Lexus SC:
The 2008 Lexus SC 430 carried over unchanged.
