The IS C is all-new for 2010, and is the first-ever IS Convertible. A power-retractable 3-piece hardtop folds into the trunk in a mere 20 seconds, faster than any other vehicle in its class. Sharing few exterior components with the IS Sedan, the IS Convertible has a striking silhouette, top-up or top-down.

IS 250 C models offer a 2.5L V6 engine with direct fuel injection for great performance and excellent fuel efficiency. The IS 350 C features a 3.5L V6 with both direct and port fuel injection, allowing it to produce 306 horsepower for outstanding performance. Both engines have dual Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i) for improved performance and fuel efficiency.

The IS 250 C is equipped with a standard 6-speed manual transmission. A 6-speed automatic with paddle shifters is available on the IS 250 C and standard on the IS 350 C.

A double-wishbone front suspension and multi-link rear suspension are specifically tuned for the IS C. Standard 17-inch 10-spoke alloy wheels, and available 18-inch 5-spoke alloy wheels, are also unique to the IS C. Combined with rear-wheel drive, the IS C was designed to offer excellent handling balance.

Inside, a climate-control and audio system are optimized for top-up or top-down driving. Heated and ventilated front seats with perforated leather are also available to help keep you comfortable no matter what the weather is outside.

On the technology front, a newly available HDD navigation system with voice command can understand casual speech, and offers both XM NavTraffic and XM NavWeather.
