Omg. Nice.
As I clicked the link I thought "What? That's gonna look so dumb. Who'd wanna...<saw the picture> whoa...looks pretty nice."
So where do the side curtain air bags go !!!
If this were to be put into production, the rear would have to be more bubbly like a ISC. Just as the ISC, looks great with the top down, but terrible with the top up.
Why not? Because it'll be a hacked hatchback, which will be a bad compromise compared to a car that's been designed as a convertible from the start.

I know, it's not cool among consumerists to talk about function over form, but that's just my opinion. I don't really care how good it looks (can't see it when I'm driving the car anyway), I want it to perform its function well. A hacked hatchback is just too much of a functional compromise.

One question...did you have the name TERMIN8R before the Arnold fiasco or afterwards?

Try to step out of your frame of reference. Then you'll probably see that the question is irrelevant. ;)

they'll probably shoot up from the side rather than fall down from the roof. LOL.
I would say it would be very expensive here in this state because they would over engineer for roll bar safety issues.
Theophilus Chin is an auto artist, this is just a rendition of his figment of imagination. He is not affiliated with Lexus. It appears to be a rag top, unlike the hardtop is250c convertible; but the rear seating is akin to the now almost defunct SC.
