Default New IS 250 Delivered w/ First Ever Soft Top!
My father recently has moved to Lexus after serving 18 years with Cadillac and ending as Sales Manager after 7 years.

His latest customer of many who came from Cadillac, has followed him to Lexus and just bought a 2009 IS 250 with the Gold Package and an off-white soft top which is the first I have ever seen!

She usually gets Cadillac's in white diamond, soft top, and gold package. The dealer though it wasn't possible but after my father made a few phone calls with his old connection with soft tops, they were flattered to be the first in the area to do it!

Here are the pics in the link as followed:

Enjoy!

We've reached a new low. Anything to make a buck I guess.

A soft top is convertible (roadster) with a fabric or vinyl top that folds and retracts. What I see here is a vinyl covered roof. This was very popular in the 1970s and available from most factories as an option. See history here:
