    What would be nice if they made this model as the first hybrid convertible. The odds of that are pretty darn near zero unfortunately :Cry:

    Interestingly, they are coming out with new convertibles (IS250C and IS350C), with a three-panel (hard) roof that opens in just 20 seconds. No hybrid drivetrain though.

    The IS already have limited rear legroom and cargo space. The convertible will eat into the cargo space and shrink the width of the rear seat. I don't want to know what an HSD system will do lol.
