Lexus will continue to build IS 250C and IS 350C convertibles in 2014 - Torque News
For 2014 the Lexus IS 250C and IS 350C coupe/ convertibles will carry on using the previous generation platform and drivetrains. Like the IS F super sedan, these sport-luxury touring cars will have to wait a bit before being moved to the new IS platform now being used for the IS 350 and IS 250 sedans. This should be viewed as welcome news by Lexus convertible shoppers because it seems to indicate that the Toyota/Lexus corporations’ only convertible cars will continue on, and possibly be updated next year in 2015. Lexus launched the first... Lexus introduced the more practical IS 250C and IS 350C in 2009 as 2010 models to carry forward the coupe convertible tourer car for the company. We’ve logged many, many miles in the current IS convertibles (and sedans) and know their personalities. The IS 350C has 306 horsepower and as a touring car is quite powerful and certainly fast for on-road use. One wants to be pushed, one wants to serenely take in the view. Both offer wind-free cabins around town, and on the highway with glass and windscreen up one can comfortably carry on a conversation in the car with little wind buffeting. Source: www.torquenews.com
