2010 Lexus IS 250 Convertible - A Siren's Tale

by Martha Hindes

Call me gorgeous. I tantalize. I roar down streets and highways, owning the wind in my face and an audience of admirers as I pass. I am adored for the luxury I present and the pampering I offer. I am the 2010 Lexus IS 250 two-door in latest fashion.

Call me impetuous. I am bad with Lindsay Lohan abandon, but good to the core, founded on 2.5-liter, 204-HP power, 21/29 MPG modesty and full safety systems security. The test drive I offered passed with praise for handling prowess.
 
My talents show in a one-touch ballet of top-down conversion as I fold and stow my three roof panels neatly in my trunk and emerge from sultry hard top coupe to deliciously free convertible. Color me eye candy in flaming red on my streamlined body, and the fabled Lexus "L" on my emboldened face.

My optional navigation responds to the merest touch, pouring out routes and markers as my Mark Levinson Premium sound soars. Can I coax you into parting with my $48.2 K price? It's my intention to try.
