Mustangs, Challengers, and Camaro's don't appear exotic to us because we see them everyday Just like how a lotus wouldn't appear to have exotic styling in say Britain and France. If you only saw a shelby gt or any basic mustang for that matter a few times a year it would definitely catch your eye and appear exotic. Its all perception. |

Things we see all the time tend to become mundane and lose their exoticness no matter how amazing they might be. |

The designer decision to have a FR platform it was not made mainly from a budget point of view. There seems to exist a lot of hype about the mid engine platforms and about the idealized 50-50 weight ratio or even more on the back. There were a lot of discussions with professional race drivers and racing funs and the decisions were made based on feedback given from such people. |

Exige feels connected because it got an amazing steering feel. Not because it's mid engine.

I wouldn't do it. The exige is an absolutely gorgeous car. However if you're really interested, wanna trade? I've already got a turbo on mine.
