top up = ugly as hell
top down = ok i guess

they could have made the "coupe look" a little nicer and not so chopped off. Reminds me of the 350Z convert. gross. It def. does not have a sporty look to it at all or mean look. Except from the front...of course

BUT........the interior is SICK! AND its kinda tight how you can control the top with the remote.

Not all the time, but yeah most of the times. Convertibles are useless here.

I hate to say this but top up the car looks absolutely horrendous.

I MUCH MUCH prefer the non convertible IS 350 to this, it has a much meaner/sportier/sleeker look to it.

This looks worse than 350Z convertible with the soft top on, and I hate the look of 350Z convertibles with the top on.

Even top down I don't like the look. It looks really bloated. Why didn't they keep the mean looking sleeker back lights of the 06-08 IS line, or even the 09 normal IS?


The back lights are pretty much the same as the ones on the larger LS 460/LS 600. These lights are more suited for a larger car like the LS sedan.


But more than the lights, the entire back region just looks really f'ing BLOATED.
