The comparo was not materials or power, it was design intent. The reviewers complaint was it needed more power, a sign that he grew up on machines that had nothing but power. Lotus is all about minimalism, not pure power. That the FR-S has been compared to Porche and Lotus at a cost under 30K is remarkable. I'm thrilled, in a Chris Matthews way, every time I get in it.
