I was hoping someone would notice.... otherwise all my energy and creativity is wasted..... this must be how the lotus engineer felt who designed the gull wing doors for the emira.. haha

I just see this short video about some customers cars delivered but I don’t know which dealer was

Something seriously wrong with the bonnet strip on the DV car 🤦🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

The DV is with yellow calliper (Thierry Verhiest is red calliper ).
At 1:54 seems you can see a German plate (?)…

And the Hethel. My plan was going to be to just pretend I didn't see anything and forget it... 🤐

No mesh

No mesh

Good eye. So then that means that either:

• The "mesh for customers, plastic for dealer demos" theory is false, or
• These cars aren't actually customer cars but rather dealer demos, or
• Meshes are country-dependent and this country simply doesn't allow them, or
• I need to take a break from the internet for a few months

or, they make one with mesh, one without... 🤣

To add... Log 41 car has mesh as well

It's option C (but D is also correct).

according to carbuzz.. its the best EV in america ....
for me, for the money...... for what you get...... taking into account teslas are like levis blue jeans back in the 90's.... ie be the same as everyone else and no style or design..... I think its the best for me..for sure...for now...for heavens sake

I’m loving the car yet HATE the rear looks. How do you mess up the rear 3/4 view of a car?

ask Lotus, I think its what has happened with the Eletre too ... and for that matter..the Evora... and for that matter.. the exige..... and for what it matters, the Elise was perfect..

I like the ironic 5's design... overall.... its a bit marmite... like or hate...

 

[DJS]

Anyway on a positive note it’s really good seeing these unfinished and incomplete production cars being delivered to Europe.

Good old Lotus exciting times 🙄

The Elise S1 rear had to be significantly modified from what the designers wanted as it was found out the design had really poor aero.

Hilarious...it would be one way to deal with the supply chain issues. Wasn't bmw selling some cars without the touchscreen feature during the pandemic?

And the ingress and egress design was superb. A selling point for those now wanting to do static stretching!

 

[Toomanyloti]

Hey! Leave the exige out of this...lol...

yes especially the S1 - Folk will think your eyes are painted on!!!!

Please forgive. It is this I hate

Huh..I think they're pretty cool looking. I don't feel Kia and Hyundai get the respect they deserve.

I saw this Genesis today and it's just plain gorgeous!
