The roofline is really ugly....

[Alan®]

I want to see an F version

[Alan®]

also with the roof up it looks like a 1 series

The roofline is a little off, but that wouldn't stop me from getting one. I think that the roofline on most of the hardtop convertibles are a little off, but I don't mind when compared to how liveable the car is as a whole. The perfect car to make a convertible, especially since you they started with an almost perfect car IMO.

It looks nice, I can see my aunt driving one or maybe my sister.

[HillClimbGuy]

sc430? wonder where I have seen this car before

[oneswtsp1]

I work at lexus and when we got our first one I saw it with the top down and was like hell yeah but it just looks way weird with the top up maybe it is just the two doors.

Good thread dude. The reason teh rear looks like a chick from a Luke video is b/c its 2 inches longer than the sedan. This is so it has'
1. The biggest and most useable trunk in class
2. It has the fastest moving top

For instance in comparsion the G37 convert while it looks nice has a trunk where you can only hold a pack of cards and it added more weight than the IS (it weighs 4000 lbs).

I'm back as forth as well but I would HAVE to get the Lexus F-sport parts for it. Here take a look

Orders for New Lexus IS-C Outpacing Production

TARRYTOWN, NY – Seeking to carve out a bigger slice of the pie in a segment dominated by the BMW 3-Series coupe, Lexus is filling customer orders as fast as it receives shipments of its recently introduced IS-C luxury coupe-convertible sports car from parent Toyota Motor Corp.’s Kyushu plant in Japan.
The facility is ramping up to produce at least 225 IS-C models a month just for the Northeast region of the U.S., Scott Wracher, general manager of the Lexus's eastern area, says at a press conference here.

The overall build rate will allow Lexus to sell 1,200 units per month nationally. “I don't think we're going to outstrip demand with our build rate,” he says, adding, “There's a lot of value in the IS (models) compared to our competition.”

Initial rumors were it wasn't coming but since demand is there I have heard it will be built. Not entirely sure yet.

YOu missed my post where its exceeding and meeting targets

[C-loS109]

sooo sick!

[Kamikaze]

Meh. I'd rather have the sedan.

[green91]

They are HOT. Plus if you watch the commercials they have mad dorifto abilities!! In all seriousness though, ive driven quite a few of these IS and they are fantastic cars. Very good power, fit and finish is fantastic and they handle very well. They are a great bargain for their price range and competition.
