Someone in Texas has a plate that says "V6 CAMRY".

Looks like all of the other 911s - a squashed Beetle.

As you know, Lotus is considered the experts in suspension and chassis tuning. They tune dozens of parameters (track, ride height, damping, spring rates, tire sizes, alignment, etc.) for optimum handling. Altering some of these variables will negatively affect their target handling. Will it...

The difference is that the BMW has actual carbon fiber, not disguised regular plastic. The hydro dipping is equivalent to spray painting your wheels gold and telling everyone that they're actually made of gold.

Everyone knows that it's the Porsches that should be wearing the Beetle decals. =D

I like it a lot. Very smooth and curvy. Timeless design in my eyes.

What scale?

It's not actual carbon fiber. More like painted plastic.

Who???

The Emeya looks like someone biting their lower lip while squinting.

I posted about the Emeya to my local group thusly: Today Geely unveiled a new EV sedan. It seats 4 luxuriously, has 4 wheel steering, adaptive suspension, AWD, tons of technology, 900hp(!), and weighs at least 4,500lbs. They also put a Lotus badge on it.

I see a lot of blue in that green.

1. Analog gauges 2. Heated steering wheel

This is completely subjective. How do you define badass?

Talk to Andreas Rousounides on FB. He took an NA Evora to BOE and they added: BOE TVS1900 supercharger chargecooled (80mm pulley) BOE cams and headers Aftermarket ECU (SCS Delta) 550hp!!!

Come on, it's a Mustang. What's its quarter mile time????

This is Lotus. They put in which ever seat was closest at the time.

You'll want to seal off those vents on both sides of the rear glass, as they too let water in the engine compartment when it rains.

If you're not manually engaging and releasing the clutch with your left foot and not manually putting the transmission in another gear with your hand it's not a manual transmission. The computer is automatically engaging and releasing the clutch for you and automatically putting the...

I fully expect: Emira R Emira S Emira GT Emira GTR Emira GTS Emira Jim Clark Edition Emira Type 72 Emira Sport 450 Emira Cup Emira Sprint Emira California Edition and of course... Emira Final Edition

People seem to forget that the first Esprit had 160hp and the last one had 350hp. The first Elise had 118hp and the last one had 250hp. The first Evora had 275hp and the last one had 430hp. There will be faster Emiras down the line. They're coming. You have to be patient. Stop comparing...

Exactly. More time driving, less time trying to show off.

So the Emira has an engine of humble origins like the humble origins of the Cayman's flat-four like a VW Beetle? =D

Ironically I love the Evora's analog gauges and interior controls. The interior of the Emira looks a bit like a video game.

I drove 4 cylinder sports cars exclusively for 24 years. I never thought one of them sounded bad. As good as a snarly Evora? No, but still not bad, just different.

Did you notice that Matt called the Cayman flawless, ignoring the problem with the gearing, while at the same time fixing the gearing in his own Boxster that he just bought?

And as we all know, appearance is subjective.

Sorry if the truth hurts, but that's plain old plastic posing as carbon fiber.

Also worth noting to a Lotus fan is that DCTs are the heaviest transmissions out there, quite a bit more than a torque converter auto or a manual.

What's the big draw to uncommon cars? I don't get it. When I see a lot of a certain model of car I assume that's because its a great car. They wouldn't sell well if they sucked. If I find and buy an amazing sports car I don't care if I'm the only one who owns it or if every house on my...

Put a small pillow behind your lower back.

I'm glad you're happy with it, but it anyone ever asks please admit that its fake. I wouldn't want all Lotus owners to be thought of as posers.

My 2008 M3 is now 15 years old and has 101k miles on the odometer. Still my daily driver and very reliable.

Bright colors also help you be seen by other drivers, like Karen taking Timmy to soccer practice in her 8,000 lbs SUV that does 0-60 in 2 seconds.

When Lotus announced they were bringing the Elise to the US I went down to my dealer and put down my deposit. 2 years later I picked it up from the dealer. Well worth the wait. ( I totaled it 4 months later :( )

I honestly don't know. It's just another dive watch as far as I'm concerned. Shinola

My humble collection...

Agreed. I drove and Exige with an LSD for 10 years and then switched to my Evora 400 without an LSD. I don't even notice it missing. And I drive my car hard.

That looks really beige in that light.
