Lexus IS-C
It seems every car maker out there who wants to introduce a convertible feels the urge to make it a folding hardtop. Which is all well and good, given that it acts like a coupe when you want it to. Unfortunately that's a lot more junk to stuff in the trunk, and sometimes that can result in peculiar proportions (like the Sebring convertible's acres of trunk) or the strange muffintop look the Lexus IS-C has when it's roof is up. The roof ends up looking to small, sitting atop the lumpy trunk.
The car featured here is a bit bittersweet to me - the IS-C F-Sport package. I find the black paint, charcoal rims and blue brake calipers absolutely beautiful, but roof treatment kills it for me. Sadly, this combo is only available on the IS-C. If it were available on the sedan, it'd get two thumbs up.
