Default IS250c rear seat question

Ok, since I didnt know where else to post this since there is no dedicated IS250c dedicated forum yet, here goes:

What is the maximum height and body "width" of a person that will REALISTICALLY fit comfortably in the back seat of that new convertible? I'm asking because the seats for the 430 convertible seem to have been built as baby seats. I'm 6' tall and I have had to put my legs accross the entire seat because I simply did not fit (I'm 6' tall and 178lbs, 32" waist). Also I saw people in the same car (while I was in the fron seat, one of them my friend) who's 5'9" tall and they barely fit. So tha means you have to be under 5'6 and not too fat to fit in there.

I have already read the dimensions in numbers in the details so I don't care much for those figures. Having sat your butt on it is the real "measuring tape" here. Will someone my dimensions actually be comfortable in the back seat of that car?

Thanks a lot!

You'd be OK. I sat in the back of one when we had one.

It's not a cross-country dream, but around town is fine.

you owned a IS 250 c?

It's not even out yet . . . Are you from the future Mr Spock? lol

I keed I keed. But I think you missed that little "c".

that little "c" stands for Convertible.

And to the OP, No idea buddy.

Gotta wait until that baby comes out to see what it's like

I believe he is a Sales Representative(according to his signature), so he has probably sat in one. They've made special appearances at Dealerships. We had an ISX50c at our Lexus of Westminster meet, but I didn't bother sitting in the back because I wasn't too interested in it.

in that case, I stand corrected.

If you're 6" tall like me, you're not going to like sitting in the back seat of a C (if you can fit at all). I barely fit in the back of my IS350, and certainly wouldn't want to be back there for any extended time. After seeing the C's back seat up close and personal several times, I wouldn't wish that back seat on my worst enemy.
