From the gallery, for the SC430 people, this back seat is cavernous!

terrible back end integration...like they fused an Avalon rear end to the IS.

I wish they came out with just a coupe version and not a convertible. The convertible makes the lines look funny too me. At this point just from these pictures, it ,makes the BMW 135 Coupe look that much better. Hopefully the standard IS coupe version will look much better.

In my opinion I think the SC 430's rear end is integrated much better than the IS 250 C's rear end. Lexus needs to go back to the drawing board regarding the IS C's rear end, otherwise everything else looks good...

correction: MUCH MUCH weaker than an e92.
this convertible looks like an afterthought. The body style was never made for a convertible.
and actually looks as bad or worse than the pontiac I posted in the other thread.
This one will be a sales flop. total FAIL.

I'm guessing the meme going out now will be that Lexus "cannot design new convertibles."
In the end though, the IS sedan is still one of the most beautiful sedans out there today...
