Has anybody seen that commercial? The one in French? It's a sharp, little Lexus Roadster, somewhat similar to the Merc. SLK. Looks cool.

I'm not sure it is considered a roadster. Look close... it has a back seat. Can you have a back seat and still be considered a roadster?

In order to even see the back seat you have to look very, very close. I'd hate to have to try and sit back there.

I saw the car at the car show last week. They showed it with the front seats touching the rear seats, so I guess you can only seat legless passengers. Nice looking car though...

The Jag XK8 is the same. There is no way anyone can fit into the back seat.

My '82 928 was supposedly a four passenger car; it had about 2-3 inches of rear leg room . . . impossible!

Yeah, but would you pay over 50K for it? That's what they are asking for it!
