Lexus sc430

I am thinking about changing my car, I have a 20 year old Merc SLK. I don't do many miles so mpg is of no concern, when I do drive I like to enjoy it so I want another drop top. Originally I wanted to upgrade to an Merc SL500, as I want to experience a V8 before they go out of fashion. However I am now inclined to go for reliability over looks so am leaning towards the worst car in the world, a Lexus sc430. I can't see it when I am driving it, and besides looks it ticks all the boxes. Anyone ever had one?
Tim.

    Ha! No, but I am aware of the image they have. My choice is purely driven by my head, its says Lexus, my heart says Merc SL500, I just cant face the reliability issues that I've had again. This will be last motoring hurrah until I have to get a hybrid.

    I keep thinking of getting a V8 mustang for the same reasons!
