there very well known as a common or garden sports car maker, not a supercar maker. but that thing looks like an Italian super car or some exotic kit car.
a big separated L.O.T.U.S on the back kind of spoils it a little, its got to be about looks and image as much as performance lets be honest if it looked a dog you wouldn't own one at that price
id want it debadged so people had to ask me what it was
Evo 5 RS
that'd be about as 'alright' as you taking your Renault badge off because you're embarrassed by it.
Renault...Lotus....Renault...Lotus
Did make me lol though

LOL @ Phil. Seriously.
Anyone who knows nothing about cars will look at it and say "wow, a Lotus... a shiny orange Lotus. Where is the driver? He needs to Father our offspring"
Anyone who knows about cars will just know how good these things really are, high-five Justin, then call him a lucky c*nt as they walk off.
Win/Win.

Utterly shite at pub quizes tho.

badge isnt that tiny.
lolz, seriously i would prefer to see some nice interior shots as im thinking of pretending to get one soon
MKIII 138
yea.. i though from the shots it looked real nice inside but im pissed that they didn't do their own nav system or make it look better around the edge bezel, too after market.
Im thinking the next revision could see some interior tweaks, but most probably they will just give it a stripe, 10 mil drop and call it a 'competition' version
MKIII 138
hope so, the point of this car to me is that it can combine some light weight ultra stiff chassis handling with cruising ability and some luxury.
have you driven one?
why do you think they went for the engine that they did and why do you think they put silly rear seats in when the engine could of been moved forward a bit

You're clearly missing the point. They wanted to add the seats to broaden the market its aimed at. As a 2 seater, its just aimed at the same people. With 4 (albeit 2 small ones) you can aim it at a couple with a kid, or two small children. Its actually really handy having the back seats incase I need to carry a third person.
The engine is a good choice really. Toyota reliability, but still provides the Lotus feel. If they had put a 2.0 turbo in it, I don't think it would have been as good. Just my opinion.
As for rebadging it! LOL. To me, Lotus is a half decent badge, why pretend its something its not? I'm certainly not ashamed to drive a Lotus, and I seem to get everyone asking me what it is anyways, as no one has ever seen one! LOL.
The apline unit is pretty fiddley to get used it. In theory its great, as it controls everything through it (iPod/Nav/Camera etc) but it just isn't as good as it could be. Its not bad enough for me to warrant changing it though.
Loving it so far. I've done a small review on PH, but so far so good. Its had its run in service (£83), and is going great. I guess I'm still in the honeymoon period just now, so I suppose only time will tell how it goes. I am looking forward to getting it on track sometime to see what it can do. Mighty impressed so far.
LOL!
:lolup: Yeah not many miles yet, think I'm up to 1250 so far. Not bad for three weeks.
This man has taste :approve:

Cheers Justin, any links to the review?

http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/...My Evora Review + Pictures So Far - Long Read!Yeah its cracking. It was the first time I've been over it, so I wasn't pressing on... much
There is some better pics on page 8 mate. The first ones were the dealer pics.

You bottom out on it and add to the large amount of scars already there ?
MKIII 138
i get what your saying but to be uncomfortable and trapped in the back of a tiny sports car isnt a good way of wowing your mates or even good for kids (unless it has full isofix and can fit a child seat.. but then why would you have this type of car)
they released a cheaper version with less weight and no back seats very quickly afterward so to me its a half acknowledgment that they knew a large amount of customers would buy one without rear seats as they would never reasonably use them.
dont get me wrong id own one in a heart beat if i could
great looking thing.Similar threads
