Spotted: IS convertible.
 
I saw this near W16th and MacDonald. Outside Choices.

Sorry, I was in friend's car and it was passing by and I was in shock when I saw it so I didn't have time to get out my camera to take a picture but...

WOW that think looks ugly!

Harvey Specter 07-02-2009 12:16 AM

Yup, so bloody ugly. The IS is so dated now; Lexus wake the hell up and redesign the bloody thing.

Culture_Vulture 07-02-2009 12:33 AM

agreed

I actually want to see them recycle the IS300 and whip up something that looks like it.

PS
Not as ugly as the SC Convertibles

keifun 07-02-2009 07:24 PM

I think this and the G37 convertable are both ugly.

shenmecar 07-02-2009 07:30 PM

335/M3 hardtop convertible <3

Harvey Specter 07-02-2009 10:44 PM

Maybe with a IS-F type kit it would look decent.

Roach 07-02-2009 11:09 PM

I saw a G37 convertible today. Looked really nice.

IS Vert will look nice with some less generic wheels and a drop.

I actually like the look of the second gen IS more so than the first gen...

But the 2nd gen is too much like a luxury boat compared to the first gen and the convertible is just fugly.

Me too, I never liked the altezza look of the previous IS.

What's so bad about the convertible? With the roof down it looks good, with the roof up it looks awkward, yet so does most of the other hard-top verts.

japanese cars fail at convertibles

what are u talking about its only been out going on 4 years and it just got a facelift

124Y 07-09-2009 07:14 AM

Personally, I think the 2nd gen sedan looks way better than the convertible. The convertible, especially the picture posted above, looks like a car for the retired. Maybe it's the colour...I'm sure black would look better lol.

boostfever 07-09-2009 12:33 PM

i saw a purple blue one yesterday on alberni, looked like a retarded lexus child.

Nvasion 07-09-2009 02:51 PM

i think its not bad... its a is 350 convertible. but for the price its not worth it. interior color scheme is nice:)

^ Still doesn't look right to me... It just doesn't have that sports car feel to it like a 335i or a G35...

Harvey Specter 07-11-2009 02:08 PM

Yup, the lines of the car don't suit a coupe.

ilvtofu 07-11-2009 02:12 PM

Volvo C70 looks nicer... excellent proportions, IS convertible = fail, when volvo makes a better looking car.
