Lexus has released this short promotional video of the upcoming IS 250C, displaying the retractable hard-top roof mechanism in motion.
The first ever IS convertible will go on sale in 2009 as will the Audi A5 convertible; both will compete against the BMW 3-Series, Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class, Volvo C70 and Saab 9-3 Convertibles.

It’s actually very simple. What happens is if the key runs out of battery (which it will over the course of about 2-3 years), you pop the little metal key out and remove the cover on the driver’s door. There’s a key slot there that works like any normal car. After that, to start the car, you just have to get the remote near the start button and it will read something off the chip and will allow the car to start.
I’ve had to do this a couple of times this year with my ES350.

Great car. The other competitors in this class somehow feel much more appealing. I guess the consumers this is targeting are the concervative and mature. Should be interesting to watch the sales figures as this goes up against the competition.

moobby, its like this.
The IS-F is good for actually carrying people around in, and using as a general everyday car, in which u can do everything in. It will also be much more fun to drive.
However if you do want something as beautiful as the Is350c, get that, but remember that you will be sacrficing some usability,
Both cars will get you head turning looks by the way, and the IS350c ride will be more confortable than the Is-F
And one other thing …
And one other thing, the G37 convertible next year, will prove real competition, because these cars will have real stiff competition with their german counterparts.
And the g37 is good looking as well, and it has a 3.7 v6
This is one …
This is one convertible for Both genders.
Its also one of the most beautiful cars to be recentley produced IMO (for like £20000-£30000).
And It is one of the best built and most confortable convertibles available today.
I think this is much better than the 3 series, because it simply looks better, and is better value than tha audi offering, and more young and stylish than the mercedes offering.
This is probably the car ill get when im around 21
