reminds me of the chevy ssr or the holden ute, primarly because it looks like a pick up truck from behind.

Yes, I see a SSR at my office almost everyday and it has similar styling traits common to many hardtop 'verts including tall bulbous butt.

huh? how does one golf bag fit in 2.4 cu ft but only two fit in 10.8 cu ft? Is the trunk oddly shaped? (i.e there's a lotta empty space btwn the golf bag and the rear seats)

The ISc is the only one in it's segment that has useable trunk space with the top down. There is room for one golf bag with the top down btw.

Top up:




Top down:

it does look better, but don't like the rear half either.. looks little out of proportion.. i wish it was a coupe rather than convertible.

The rear half is an abomination, then it goes downhill from there.

I still don't like it. Proportions are terrible. I reminds me of an old man with his pants hiked up too high.
