2010 Lexus IS C
The all new Lexus IS C hit the streets a little more than a month ago with a tag-line you've just got to love: “Live a little, a lot!”
Unlike their first ever, dedicated luxury hybrid--the HS 250h (also for 2010)--the only major first for this new IS (for the most part) is the impressive, all new, three-part hard top. Beyond all that’s cool about the mere concept of driving a convertible is the fact that it neatly and compactly retracts into the trunk in just 20-seconds (to open, or close), with enough space remaining for a set of golf clubs.
With the top dropped, IS C’s silhouette bears a look of low down, high-end sleekness from the front, ending in a raised beltline at the rear deck to create a look that chic for sure.
The 250 trim level includes a 204 horsepower, 2.5 liter V6, with a six speed manual transmission, with a standard 306 horsepower 3.5 liter V6 in automatic only in the 350 @ $43,940. You adventurous types will want to opt for the excitement of the manual transmission in the 250, which will never leave you feeling power deficient.
IS C’s technology compensates for the top down with adjustments to the sound (automatic direction adjustment) and air conditioning systems. The powered front seats also move for rear passenger access so you don’t have to! The heat in the heated and cooled/ventilated front seats goes above the seat and back to comfort your shoulders as well. Opt for the hard drive navigation system with available Mark Levinson 12-speaker, 270-watt premium sound system—a perfect combination for a day, or night on the open road.
