Just say new 240z, they went w 2.4L I4 turbo. It can produce over 300hp easy w current technology... Which will bring the 370Z's sales down. Why buy limited power upgrade 370z when you can do so many upgrade w i4 turbo? Specially 2.4L, so it can produce ridiculous tq!

Again, why do you think new 510 concept died?
Because of mixed reactions to the retro-futuristic styling and the company being unwilling to spend the money it would take to have two affordable sports cars. The last news about them said they decided on just making 1 smaller/lighter Z. Like others, I would love to see a spiritual successor to the 240z and 240sx/Silvia in one car. A new S16 Silvia would have enthusiasts foaming at the mouth...

No. I'm sure people will trade their cars in just to get one in that color, but besides that... I dunno.

I think that color is fucking horrendous, personally.

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.
Theres a guy who lives near me who traded his 370Z for an Evora last year. I need to talk to him, I just couldnt live with an Evora as my daily either.

Some people do not realize that there is a big part of Canada sticking way down into the US. There are 27 whole or partial states (including small parts of both California and Nevada) north of me.
Pfft, stop spreading lies!

I remember 80 degree days when I was in Anchorage, and that's a lot further north than most people in Canadaland live.

That can't be right Tcoat! I believe you mean 26 states, because Alaska is clearly an island Southwest of Texas! All my US maps say so!
