Re: Spied Lexus

The factory wheels on that first red example look nice and blingy.......so blingy in fact I had to put on some shades

I know a possible IS vert and the SC430 are in different leagues sorta......but if this vert is offered across the IS range, might the SC feel squeezed at some point??

the SC is like a thousand years old.....

And it probably is meant to appeal to the 6 series crowd (or at least thats the most logical positioning of that car at this point)

No kidding, and I thought the SC was ugly when it first came out(the hardtop vert was really cool though, which at that time was unheard of), as well as the monstrocity of a BMW called the 6-series!

I am susprised they are doing the IS-F convertable, I figured the regular versions would get it, but not the F! I am not a Lexus fan by any means, but I actually like the IS-F, and I think the F vert will be pretty cool, though crazily overpriced!
