Like a made-over girl, the Lexus IS is back in a daring attempt to be pretty convertible except it’s still ugly and only fools will be vying for it. The rear-quarter is appalling, hard top convertible force a long, flat trunk which makes the car profile into a shifty mess. Overhangs in the front and the back are scary long and seldom does a c-pillar swoop so ungracefully into a flat line. With the aging Lexus SC, I imagine the chiefs thought this could offset some of the droptop angst in luxauto (A4 Cabriolet, G37 drop top, 1 Convertible, 3 Convertible) but this thing is just awful.
