What a ghetto booty   :P



I don't get it.  Four-seat convertibles don't NEED to have a ghetto booty.  BMW's doesn't.  So why do Volvo, Lexus, Infiniti all have this enormous ass on theirs?

I'm with Mitlov. BMW is the only hard-top convertible that I can think of being proportionate top up or top down. The rest are just goofy looking with the top up.

MX-5 PRHT, Benz SLK also look good with and without tops.

 :iagree:...and don't forget the SL.  However, none of these are 4 seaters.  The Lexus SC has the biggest rump  :-X

+1 to that. The VW Eos is particularily bad. I'm not crazy about this new Lexus either.  :P

This L looks good, but there's something wrong with the front bumper, guess the foglights area is kinda fuzzy.

Isn't this new Lexus built on the same platform as the Solara.  They have a rather grande *ss.
