Just wanted to say hello to everyone. I've been a viewer for awhile, but as I just purchased a new IS350C (traded in a GS350...just wanted a convertible), figured I might was well say hi. A beautiful car. The convertible top is way cool and you actually have enough room for a couple of overnight duffle bags (or a set of golf clubs) with the top down. With the top up the trunk is almost as big as the one on my old GS350. Only thing I've done to the car is replace the OEM tires (Bridgestone Turanza) with Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus. For those who are familiar with both tires, no further explanation is necessary .

Welcome cdog! Long time listener, first time caller! That's great and congrats on the new wheels....pics would be appropriate.

Hello, and welcome, what color did you get? How long does it take to go from open to close? and from close to open?

The color is smoky granite mica. It takes approximately 20 seconds to open and 20 seconds to close. Looks neat, something like the transformers. I'd post pictures but I haven't quite figured out how to do it.

Welcome! And congrats on your car -- nice!!
