    Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery?

    New Acura "Performance EV" concept unveiled at Monterey Car Week. The rear design looks... familiar! The irony is the press release says the rear design is inspired by the 2nd-gen NSX.

    Lotus at IAA Mobility

    I’m attending IAA Mobility in Munich and was curious about Lotus’ presence. This event is heavily EVs and pretty much all sustainable, although there were a smattering of M3s, ICE Porsches and general automotive supplier tech (agnostic to drivetrain). Lotus didn’t have a presence that I saw in...

    US second dealer tour and demo cars

    Does anyone know where these North American test cars are currently? Are the dealers sitting on them? Did they send them to get certified or crash tested or did they ship them to another country? I would fly anywhere in the country to take another test drive this weekend.

    Posters of each First Edition color

    This was fun. I'm not even sure why I started this but once I got rolling it was hard to stop. Sometimes Photoshop is therapeutic. Every now and then I dive in to sharpen my skills and this time around, I wanted to try some mixed media stuff with the new AI imaging tools like Midjourney and...

    Lotus Lena, Etude and Envya?

    https://carbuzz.com/news/we-think-this-is-the-name-of-the-new-lotus-elan Trademark filing uncovered for those 3 names, submitted alongside Eletre. Were they just to throw people off the scent of Eletre, or will they be types 133 - 135? Also, I didn't realize Lotus sold the rights to Elan to...

    An ode to roads.

    For the drivers, right? I think that's everyone here. I want to know about the best road you've ever driven. Where is it? What did you drive? Which roads do you want to drive in your Emira? What if time, money and shipping your Emira were no object? I'm a bit obsessed with this. And by that I...
