We first saw the 2010 Lexus IS 250C at the 2008 Paris Auto Show. Now its more powerful sibling, the 350C, has made its debut at the 2008 LA Auto Show. Rival Infiniti also dropped the top on its 2009 Infiniti G37 Convertible starting an all out war of two-door luxury Japanese convertibles.

Refresher:

2009 Infiniti G37 Convertible: 3.7L V6 that produces 325-hp and is mated to a 7-speed automatic with paddle shifters or a 6-speed manual. The Infiniti G37 Convertible folds its top in 30 seconds.
2010 Lexus IS 350C: 3.5L V6 that makes 306-hp and is mated to a 6-speed automatic or 6-speed manual. The Lexus IS 350C takes 20 seconds to drop its top.

    Infiniti looks like a stretch sc430 only taken them 8 years to catch up

    so you can get an IS350C with a stick? Is that official? Because they don't even offer the IS350 or IS-F sedans in a stick.

    infiniti does look better, especially the back end...the lexus looks too bulky in the back.

    ....id rather have a 370z though
