Still looks like a Solara with an Avalon back end. And what's with the extra wheel gap!? You could raise a family in there!

That's exactly the look that I wanted!!! A dark exterior (I believe that is Smoky Granite Mica) with an Alabaster interior.

I think I'll have to see this car in person before I can pass judgement on it.

As with most hardtop convertibles, it's got a case of huge butt. Why not just a straight 2 door?

Not a fan. I was expected something more sporty-looking, but this is just the opposite. Bland-styling, in my opinion - looks like a chick car (no offense to the female enthusiasts on our site, of course).

Maybe so. But I had higher expectations for the IS350C. At least a power bump would have been nice...

What's behind the wheel in the fender with this pic?
Yes the tails look much better than the 09 tails.

I didn't know Lexus made 4x4's
Like Seize said, I'd have to see it in person before I say I like it or not

So I guess no one is surprised to see an IS350C?

Why would anybody be surprised ? They first showed the IS250C in EUROPE, & they never even offered the IS350 sedan there, only the IS250 and the IS220d.
It has always been expected that they will have the IS350C in the North American market.

Aren't the Truffle Mica available for the IS sedan already ? So isn't it very likely that Truffle Mica would be available for the IS250/350C too ?
