2010 Lexus IS 350 2-door Sport Convertible
KELLEY BLUE BOOK REVIEW
Overview
KBB Editors' Overview
Since its introduction in 2001, the Lexus IS has emerged as a legitimate contender in the entry-level luxury market. However, with only a sedan body style, the Lexus IS yielded much of that market to, among others, the BMW 3 Series and Mercedes-Benz C-Class. In an effort to address the issue, Lexus has introduced the 2010 Lexus IS C, a sporty two-door convertible with a retractable metal hard top that is hoped will appeal to both coupe and convertible buyers. With a focus on style, luxury, technology and value, the IS C is the latest element in what Lexus hopes will be a compelling and well-rounded lineup for the IS range.
| You'll Like This Car If... | You May Not Like This Car If... |
| You might like the 2010 Lexus IS C if you're in the market for a sporty, luxurious convertible. Along with open-air fun, the IS C provides much of the refinement, security and style of a coupe, thanks to its retractable metal roof. | You may not like the Lexus IS C if you require enough room to seat four comfortably. While the rear seats are acceptable for short trips, normal-sized adults may find them too confining for longer journeys, a problem partly addressed with the roof stowed. |
What's New for 2010
The introduction of the IS C makes ownership of a convertible Lexus available to a wider audience than the brand's other convertible, the much more expensive SC430. The IS C also demonstrates the Lexus commitment to expand the IS range, which also includes the IS Sedan and high performance IS F.
