Is that a press release for Europe only or for North America and/or rest of the world as well ? I probably have read it too, but I was never interested enough in the IS-C to read every detail in that press release, so I may have skipped the colors part. The colors made available may not be the same for all markets ? ...

Anyone guess their projected sales figures? I can't see them selling more than 10,000 a year. I'm suprised they'd make any money with it. I wouldn't be caught dead in that thing, I presume it comes with a matching sun dress.

heh... that's the very first thing my wife said when she saw the 250C in person... "Hey, they looks like a Solara"

And as I mentioned, the Lexus dude at the car show yesterday said there'd be a 350C as well (in the US anyway).

I probably would have been if I hadn't read that Lexus press release a few months back.

Yes the tails look much better than the 09 tails.
It's a battery to run the lights, interior, retractable roof, etc... for the duration of the show without having to run the car.

I still don't like this car. I would have much much preferred a 2-door coupe.

saw the IS250C at the local auto show, its just way to bulky. Front looks the same, but its got a big rear.

I guess Lexus was trying to accommodate the trunk space while having a convertible top.

For those who wish to see it in person, i can tell you that its not gonna be far from those pictures.

Fairly disappointed at lexus for screwing up their chance to make ISx50C an attractive car.

+1. Saw it at the Dallas Auto Show last weekend. Wanted to like it as I've had a couple of SC430's. I still think the IS sedan is a knockout but I wasn't impressed with this.

Seen it in person in the IS-F blue color and I was kinda impressed. Nothing like the pics rep. Its really not that bad. It just has a girly appeal to it.

A 2-door coupe only would have been nice...

I did not like the 2010 RX, the new body is just ugly. Same goes for LX. And now they ruined the IS....nice!
