Default Fake Convertible Top--OH NO

After years of saying "You never see a Lexus with one of those cheesy fake convertilbe tops, like a Caddy or Lincoln", I finally saw one today. A red LS 460 with a tan top--I wasn't quick enough to snap a pix. Thank g-d there were no white walls.

That would be this:



Speaking of soft top, I've seen a few LS430's with these tops, they look awesome!

Soft tops on new cars are just strange to me...but then again so are white-walled tires.

Wow this is a funny thread since I saw a black ES330 a couple months back with a tan top and for a second I freaked out and was wondering why I never knew about Lexus making an ES convertible? LOL, but then I came to my senses and realized it was fake, but didn't react quick enough to take a picture ...

If it's a real LS460 convertible, that might actually be pretty cool . . .

I think they are absoltuely hideous. I respect that those who get them that way obviously like that, but it is not my taste.

There's a gal at our school with one of those roofs on her ES300. It lucks really funky.
