The 2006 Lexus SC 430 hardtop convertible receives fresh front-end styling, including a new grille and front bumper, a thicker chrome surround, and a larger Lexus badge. A new six-speed sequential automatic transmission handles shifting, and an Adaptive Front Lighting System allows the headlamps to follow the road through turns. At the rear are new LED tail lamps, and the 18-inch alloy wheels feature a new five-spoke design. Inside, there’s a new leather-trimmed interior with walnut accents (for black, saddle, and ecru interiors) and Bird’s-eye maple trim (for camel-colored cabins). The interior door handles receive a swath of chrome, and the shift plate is revised. Finally, five new exterior colors debut: Mercury Metallic, Matador Red, Chardonnay Pearl, Black Pearl, and Tigereye Pearl.
