I loled at Lotus. I think the Evora looks sick, but no matter how hard I try to convince myself that it'd be a good car to own, I can't. A 911 is less exotic but is way better in every other way.

Lotus is supposed to be about "lightweight" but the Evora isn't lighter than a Porsche which uses a plain old steel chassis, has a heavier engine, heavier transmission, more gizmos, way more airbags etc. Despite a full belly pan, and sacrificing the whole front for a vented hood, the aerodynamics are not impressive.

Lotus needs to make a car that meets American safety standards and has a usable frunk instead of some crappily designed vented hood, which a sensible person might be able to talk themselves into buying for Cayman S money.
