if only toyota had the magic to make all the current SCs into this.

deny it all you want, it IS (somewhat) less of an eyesore.

SLK is a two seater (roadster.) SP. It probably will be on the same list when M.B. is moving forward to build a C-class hardtop convertible (like everyone else.)

Because of its lower $$ & extra 2 seats ( as boring as this IS convertible is), LEXUS will sell a lot more IS convertible than the SC430. At least it will be sportier than the SC (a car designed for retired boomers or the housewives in O.C.)

This thing looks uninspired and boring!
Please stop trying to copy almost every model in the lineup of BMW and Mercedes!
simple adding Horsepower+technology+leather seats does NOT result in a beamer or benz.

Lexus, you have no soul and no heart…. I cannot feel ya

Please start producing cars that stand for something… make supras… find your own way

My convertible hardtop choices:

1. BMW 335iC
2. Infiniti G37 (if it looks good top-up)
3. Volvo C70
4. VW Eos
5. Pontiac G6

15. Lexus ISC

AAACK! I just saw the top-up photo.. there is NO WAY I would buy this, even over a Pontiac G6!

By: zoomzoomer

zoomzoomer — Fri, 03 Oct 2008 01:04:49 +0000

We still have yet to see this or the G37 with the top up, but to my eye the Infiniti is a much more successful conversion to convertible hardtop, probably because the G37 is a coupe and the IS is sedan-based. I would still take a 335i over either, and if price were a factor I’d probably prefer the much better looking VW Eos over the IS.

HAHA

No no, this is not a good idea Lexus. If you want a convertible in your line up, (if you havent taken it out already) just update the SC.

And I agree with all of you, women and gay guys with money to waste will sure love this.

(Im only saying that because Lexus is owned by Toyota, and I really hate Toyota..)

Personally, I think the back looks fairly high, the interior is way too conservative, and yet another stupid car with no usable back seats. Why do they bother? So they can call it “functional”?

There’s nothing attractive with it. Isn’t that the point of this segment, to LOOK attractive? This sure doesn’t. Nope, interior sure doesn’t look attractive. Have any of you called it stunning? Nope, all I’ve heard are mild comments calling it nice looking. Definitely the worst option in this segment.

I like it. It is not as well done as 3 series convertible with roof on, but with top down it is a looker. Maybe I just like top down period.

^^drchiem….LEXUS IS’ suck they’re small and not respected at all…. like Z06 they’re for girls and faggots man, i’d buy my daughter this car when she gets her liscence….it is and always will be a corolla with a body kit…now its a corolla with a hardtop droptop..

Z06ified is only half right — GAY man are more into BMWs and AUDIs (coming from LA car culture and all ~ ) This IS will find a lot more follower than the over priced SC430 for sure. Mostly from women and retired boomers everywhere. Depends on how they price this.

Hey Mr. need more oil, maybe you should go back to the Audi A1 comments because we all pretty much made it clear that we don’t want to hear from you again. Get lost little man…

Just what the IS needs, even more things to go wrong with it. As if it wasn;t already an unreliable piece of garbage. The CTS is going to get a convertible as well, Americans are going to wait for that instead of this POS

Buy American, buy GM

^^^whips001^^^^ due you mention “the IS is still a toyota corola with a body kit to me…” then you need to find a better job so you can save enough to afford the Lexus IS. I just can’t stand ignorant comment like this. Anyway this awesome to see IS convertible so the price will be more reasonable. Well done Lexus.

This may not be the best looking convertible, but it will expand the perception of the IS from an all-business small saloon to a stylish sports saloon.
I shan’t be selling the BM any time soon though…
