That is a very impressive 0-60 time. I'd consider an ISc if I wanted a hardtop convertible.

Good to know that the IS-C is lightest in class and has the fastest 0-60 time! That's a pleasant surprise. Of course it's all about the overall package and while the IS-C may not look to everyone's taste, I think it does have significant merits.
Funny the IS excels in other important areas but all they care about is some damn steering/handling and it wasn't bad, just not BMW ish. WHO IS? NO ONE!!!

IS 350c
lightest
best acceleration
best MPG
best price loaded

What a combo!

not from my last 'race'.

some a-hole in a new G37 on my commute home was driving super aggressive... so i engaged (doesn't take me much, i'm guilty )

there was a nice openening in traffic and we both were at WOOT. at speeds of like 90-100mph, my IS350 was walking, slowly, but walking.

Exactly.....they always make something up to give first place to BMW.

Example: funny how they mention that the IS has a small trunk......whereby (I think edmunds stated) the IS-C is the only car in it's class that has a trunk big enough to hold a set of golf clubs

Just further proves that the car mags are biased to the BMW.
