In this episode I provide the history of the Lexus SC 430, a coupe/convertible with a retractable hardtop. The SC 430 began in 2001, however it was preceded by the SC 400 and SC 300 that started in 1992 as a coupe. But although the coupe's sales were decent at its start, they dropped considerably over the next few years, leading Lexus to revamp the car to be a convertible for 2001. Despite its V8 power, it didn't drive like a sports car. That, along with its bulbous shape that had to conceal the hardtop when stowed, lead to many disliking the car, especially on the show Top Gear, which pronounced it as the "worst car in the history of the world" in 2012, 2 years after the car ended production.

I once drove a friend's SC430 from Atlanta to Dallas in one day. Incredibly quiet, comfortable car with a luxurious interior, plenty of power, and very good road manners. I liked it very much. It's a shame it was so homely. It wasn't a sportscar, it was a grand tourer. And a good one.

It was basically Lexus' attempt at making a Ford Thunderbird. Unfortunately for them, the personal luxury coupe segment had been dying a long a slow death by the time they introduced the SC400 and even more so with the SC430. Most people didn't really want a comfortable, torquey, 2+2 car anymore.

This SC430 is a car that was carefully finished by TOYOTA and is already over 20 years old, but it still has the performance to show active driving. If you find a good used SC430, you can overhaul the engine and reupholster the interior and drive it for another 20 years. In Japan, enthusiasts are buying them back and the price is gradually increasing.

Also, as much as I adore Top Gear, that segment where they beat up on the SC430 and even compared it to a Tiburon was one of the worst segments they ever did.

I am of the complete opposite mindset. In fact I think they should have done two lines. One to support performance enthusiasts with a standard 330 hp v6 turbo and another line with an automatic 4 180 HP gas saving design. The v6 would have gotten like 22 mpg and the 4 likely 30+, would have worked with those hybrid looking rims as well....

Long after Clarkson has retired into a nursing home, and Top Gear reruns have disappeared from our TV screens, there will still be a few SC430s purring on our roads. I haven't driven an SC430, but I do know someone who has owned one. He wasn't a sports car driver, and his fleet of 7 cars at the time included a BMW 7 series, a Mercedes S Class and a Jaguar of some description. He considered the SC430 to be his favourite car.

Toyota fielded the Lexus SC430 as the Supra's replacement in the Japanese Super GT racing series, so that alone makes me respect the car a lot. I believe 3 championship titles by different Toyota teams (2006 and 2009 with TOM'S, 2013 with Cerumo) were under the SC430's belt. I know Super GT is a silhouette-based GT sports car racing series, but still...how cool is that? To see the "worst car in the world" kick ass with Nissan Zs/GT-Rs and Honda NSX-GTs.

The Lexus SC400 known as the Toyota Soarer in Japan. I think the Japanese variant is much cooler. A popular modification for tuners was converting their SC400 into the Japanese version.

In Europe, after the SLK, Peugeot made the 206cc bringing hard top convertibles to lower budget buyers. After that in the early 2000s, every mainstream hatchback basically received the folding hard top treatment. The few you mentioned, as well as the 207, Renault Mégane, Vauxhall/opel Astra and Corsa (badged as a Tigra), Mitsubishi Colt and Nissan Micra

Was the top the biggest drawback to the SC? How was it mechanically? Lexus has always had a great reputation for reliability

I've never heard of a Lexus hardtop malfunctioning. I test drove the SC430 and ultimately bought an IS350C a couple years ago, that holding roof hasn't given me any trouble either.

A lot of rap songs of the era like Liil Flip - "The way we Ball" talk about a "Lexus Bubble Car". I can only assume they meant this car. :) I always thought the reviews were too hard on it. It wasn't designed to carve canyons, but that's always how it seemed to be judged.

I think the term Lex bubble used in various raps actually refers to the GS300/400. A much more iconic car in HIPHOP than the SC.

Kia Sephia or Yugo wasn’t the worst car?
