2010 Lexus IS 250C - USATODAY

The USATODAY have published a review of the 2010 Lexus IS 250C convertible. 'The IS convertible is derived from hardware underpinning the IS sedan. A key difference: The sedan offers all-wheel drive. The convertible doesn't. Also, the convertible is about 300 pounds heavier than the sedan. But that extra weight is toward the rear, so Lexus says the drop-top has the coveted 50/50 weight balance - half the weight on the front wheels, half on the rears. The sedan is 52/48. Hard to enjoy the benefits of 50/50, however, when the car's leaning so much in corners that you don't want to drive it hard in the first place.
