FRS/BMW 1 Series M/ Lotus Exige

Thought you might like a few iPhone shots of the cars together. I thought the size comparison was actually really interesting.

Heh, that makes the poor 1M look like a pig and it's not even that big!

To me, the Lotus does to the FRS, what the FRS does to the 1M.

Nice. I love the 1M. Such a sick car.

Funny that it looks so large in these shots!

I think this U-Haul pic is the best size comparison.

Very cool.

I'm pretty picky about the cars I like... But I'd have no problem imagining myself as an owner of either of the two other vehicles mentioned here, alongside the FR-S.

Cool pics. I like the photo with the Lotus hidden behind the FR-S.

This reminded me of Goldilocks & the 3 bears. The BMW is just a little too big, and the Lotus is just a little too small...but the FR-S is just right

I actually like all three cars, which is a bit new for me as i've hated BMWs up until this year.
