No recent car is a awkward looking as the Lexus convertible....personally I like it, but I would like to see the side and rear view as well.

If the question is which design do you prefer, clearly the 50s ... and yes, with the luggage!

It is clearly the more stylish of the two, a better investment, and an iconic vehicle.

As to the 2009, I'd have to see actual pictures of the real car (sans masking) to truly assess it. Car design is a subtle art, and speculative renderings rarely reflect the finished product.

1950's definitely.
