Dejavoo Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Anyone know if the IS Convertible will be AWD? Anyone hear anything regarding the cost? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_raider Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 AWD convertible? Seems somewhat paradoxical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dejavoo Posted October 15, 2008 Author Share Posted October 15, 2008 AWD convertible? Seems somewhat paradoxical. I thought a hardtop convertible may be better able to handle the winter weather than a traditional convertible top... Has anyone tried out a hardtop convertible? How does it hold up in the winter?

bartkat Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Maybe check the SC threads for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dejavoo Posted October 16, 2008 Author Share Posted October 16, 2008 Maybe check the SC threads for that. So has anyone heard if it will be AWD or even a price yet?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSK Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 I just got an email newsletter from one of my local dealers regarding the new convertible IS. Here are the pictures from the Lexus site and a link to the page from the Lexus Future Vehicles site: http://www.lexus.com/fcv/is_convertible.ht...:IS_convertible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IS250_rookie Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 wow that looks really ugly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smooth1 Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 wow that looks really ugly. It has to be just the pictures. I agree, it looks odd. But I thought that about the NIssan GT-R also, and then when I saw it in person, while I still wan't thrilled, it did look alot better than the pictures. The biggest question that comes to my mind about this though is what are the future plans for the SC then? I haven't seen the price of the IS C yet, but I would imagine it would be under the SC'c price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSK Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 I think the car looks nice, but I wasn't too fond of the color they chose for the picture set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dejavoo Posted October 17, 2008 Author Share Posted October 17, 2008 I think the car looks nice, but I wasn't too fond of the color they chose for the picture set. I'm guessing it will start at 39,995.. any other guesses? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raymsixsix Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 I don't think it looks bad, but at the same time I'm not really excited when I see it. But, it could just be a matter of getting used to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manolo1 Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 My husband has already said there's probably no room in the trunk....... The convertible is 2 inches longer to allow for trunk roominess.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dejavoo Posted October 23, 2008 Author Share Posted October 23, 2008 A dealer told me today it will be RWD! ;( I'll just keep the RX AWD too then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manolo1 Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Convertible plus AWD will price the car out of reach for the segment.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoMorePinkPanther Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Trunk room is actually larger than the 4 door version...according to Edmunds.com. This is including when the top is down... I'm not sure how this can be the case, this is only what I have read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IS250_rookie Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 It reminds me of the Toyota Solara... that huge !Removed! just makes it look like crap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lambobaby1218 Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 I saw this "thing" at the car show last Wednesday, and I don't like it at all. The IS is much nicer in a hardtop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
