I get it, you're trying your hardest to discount my track toy to improve your argument for the GC. It's not relevant; it's not going to work. Let's get back to discussing how the cheap plastics in the GC are comparable to the cheap plastics in the FRS with primarily the design being the differentiation factor.
The passenger side footrest comes loose (at least in elise's) and the rear view mirrors fall off. Experienced both on a buddies car. Oh and the exhaust fell off at sebring.

I'm not knocking the lotus by any means, I love them, but they aren't stars of build quality either IMO. I wouldn't say that they are anywhere near as bad as Sub is making it out to be.

Also, I just sat in a few 2013 GCs. The interior is shit IMO. Rye did too (rye: stupid popup blocker on my work laptop and ipad. never noticed the PM )
