    Exciting news. Lotus has the right image to get up the ranks in the sports car industry. Can't wait to see what they have planned.

    would love to see this done right. so many cars today, especially supercars, are getting soft, and if lotus applies their philosophy to that game, i'd look forward to great things

    yea with the release of the Evora and the future Esprit, it looks like they have to market the less hardcore side in order to make money

    i mean the elise/exige cars are freakin awesome, but it didnt do anything near 911 carrera numbers as far as sales, and that is where the real $$$ is at!

    On a different level though. The Lotus is more of a hardcore sports car where the Porsche is a luxury, comfortable sports car..

    Not many people will want to ride in the lotus as a daily.. not saying there arent people that do it!
