I would get it if it looks like sexy. Pretty much our rear seats are useless. No leg rooms what so ever. Might as well make it a 2 door.

I just came back from the L.A. Auto Show.

I saw the ISx50c in person. I can say that the rear portion of the car is "not as bad" as what most people perceive it to be. Yes, it is bulky, but not so much as the rears of comparable cars such as the 3-Series and G37 hardtop convertibles. I believe most people are concerned about the C-pillar, which is not as smoothly curved as most coupes on the road.

Would I trade by IS350 for an IS350c? Perhaps. I'll decide when the pricing is released...

Initially there will only be a IS250C. I prefer sedan more, so I won't.

I'm going to get one but don't have to "trade" since my lease is up next year, just in time to get a good deal after all the hype dies down and in the middle of winter when convertible sales drop.

I'm glad that Lexus is making the IS line more competitive by adding the convertible, but it's not for me.

Sadly, the C won't even start being built until June. It won't be on showroom floors until August.

I doubt you will see too many manual transmission convertibles, either.

It will have about a $7K premium over the sedan version.

There will be a 350C initially, as well. But it will be a very small number. 90% of the build will be 250's.

If my car was bone-stock I would trade in next year, but its still new to me. Maybe when I get tire of looking at the sedan I'll consider it. And it depends on the pricing also. Plus I like convertibles!
