Default Would you trade your IS for the new ISC?

Went by the Lexus dealer ( a couple of Sundays ago) to see if there were any 2010's on the lot. Was just about to leave when I saw it. They had an ISC parked outside the door. I think I'm in love

not for me. The lines on the hardtop are sexier. The rear looks too fat for me. It would be cool for summer but not most of the year in Vancouver.

The IS-C is growing on me, but I'm not ready to part with my baby anytime soon!

If it was the same price as the 4-door, than yes.

I was just at the dealership yesterday. Black IS-c 350 with light cream interior and $11k in FSport add-ons. MSRP was $63,xxx No friggin way. If I want looks I'd get the S5, if I want looks and performance I'd get the M3, only if I was a hard core vert fan would I cross-shop the ISC and 335i vert.

The Fsport flat black 19" wheels where hott.

I saw one (IS convert) in front of a middle school in Los Altos just yesterday and, honestly, it's kind of ugly. Black might help hide some of the girth that has cropped up around the hips though. The one I saw was Tungsten and had the top up and it really didn't work.

I like the car, but not a fan.
