Honestly, I really wish Lotus the best of luck, but it seems like they have too much on their plate for such a short period of time. I really hope they succeed though, the new (2015) lotus elise looks pretty cool!

Really hate the "new" Lotus. We already have oversized/overweight/overwrought/overpriced penis-extenders from Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, etc. What we *don't* have enough of is properly small, lightweight, FUN sports cars.
Thankfully, Alfa is coming in with a replacement for the Elise/Exige:  2000 lb., 230 hp, wheee! |

This car is not good either. IA good car is not about power, but neither only about weight. What we need are not HP monster, but neither underpowered cars like a Miata. Cars like MX-5 and FR-S are good because of low price, but this also prevents them from having more hightech.
What we need is a some NA high reving 6 cylinder engine for a car that weighs no more than 1000 kg thanks to CF, but that is still enough practical, not like Ariel Atom, KTM X-Bow, BAC Mono. |
