[AGP]

That's great. I noticed that Alex Goy had one on Twitter the other week, so he maybe the Carfection representative

 

[fattyman]

Interesting that they mention adaptive cruise control in the Edmunds review. Wonder if they actually tested it given production model won't have all the safety tech.

I'm watching the car comparison - 15 minutes in and its dragging on... cant fast forward to the verdict either.

 

[Lots_Of_Trouble]

EVO report wasn't happy with it ....oh dear.

 

[Leonard]

Not looking particularly rosie is it... Only read Autocar, EVO and AutoExpress so far but vague steering and gearbox and a brake pedal that is less than ideal for heel and toe isn't what I want to hear about my new Lotus.
I've not been commenting on the forum much as there wasn't really much more to say until the reviews came out.
If it genuinely is a 4 star car tho and I can't get a test drive in a production car before taking delivery in July then I'm out.
Cant help but think Lotus have really shot themselves in the foot with this prototype review nonsense a month away from customer deliveries
