Damn Lexus. I thought the IS250C was going to come to North America first. Why, oh why! Are you happy selling only 100 in a month? Are we not good enough for your “super intelligent sports sedan convertable”? The four seater, two door, drop top was originally shown off at the Paris Motor Show last October.

That’s when my love affair started. And today is when it ends. We have to wait until just before Summer for the Lexus IS Convertible. At which point every tanning bed, spiked hair, greaser will be driving around in one. Like the sedan, the IS 250C is powered by a 204-horsepower 2.5-liter V6, while the IS 350C gets a 306-hp 3.5-liter V6. A six-speed automatic transmission is available on either engine; a six-speed manual is offered only on the IS 250C. The top goes down in 21 seconds.

I’m just kidding! I think all Lexus IS’, with their retartedly high belt line, look funny. Hardly something I could fall in love with.
