Don't know if this is old news on this site, but I came across this today:

The First Ever IS Convertible

What do you guys think of the 350 version (giving 306hp/277tq)?

Fastest hard-top convertible change ever?!?! (21 seconds!)

Also, if anyone knows the DIMENSIONS (overall length, overall width, and overall heighth with the top up) please let me know asap! I can't find it anywhere!

Pretty sweet imo...lexus finally made a convertible that doesn't look like an old-lady car.

 

Not bad but as with most non-purpose built convertibles, IMO, it looks best with top up. I'm more interested that it is a 2-door IS but have never been big on drop tops and can only assume that this would be heavier than the sedan, which is the IS that I would choose. Still. I would have to agree that this one easily blows away the SC400/430 convertibles in the desirability department and looks to be a nice convertible if that's what you are into. I would like to see some body styling enhancements similar to (but not as extreme as) on the IS-F for the sportiest version to remove a little bit of the blandness.

 

I don't know... it's okay. Not great, not bad, just okay.

I'd definitely go for the 335i convertible coupe instead.

 

ehh...the lexus is faster, more reliable, and it is $39k. The Beamer is quite a bit more for the 335i convertible...

 

looks ugly with the top up though.

 

they showed this at the dallas auto show a few months back. It's a decent looking car, but it's actually smaller than you'd expect. With the top down, there is literally no trunk space.

 

No, Miata PRHT takes 12 seconds.

 

I'm trying my best to like it but something just doesn't look right. I can't point it out though.

 

=) I'd take the Miata PRHT anyday =)
