But if I'm going into the canyons I think I would take the Boxster, but not sure as I don't know how well the sc handles yet.
The SC430 does not compare to a Boxster, they're two completely different cars.

The SC430 is heavy, slow, sucks gas and has no trunk

>>> weighs 3,840 lbs
>>> claimed 0-60 in high 5s or low 6s, but 15.6 quarter
>>> 16/22mpg
>>> automatic transmission, no manual available
>>> the hard top convertible takes up almost the entire trunk. Here's a photo with the convertible top down and taking up most the trunk space:

that little space in the back is the trunk.

It's very much a secretary's or real estate agent's car, the Lexus version of a Toyota Solara, but at least the Solara has a trunk:
