MPG sure is nice though haha.

I love the way it looks inside and out - very exotic and graceful at the same time. But getting 280hp from the 3.5L (probably the same engine in IS350) is weak sauce. It didn't mention direct injection so that may be the difference. I would expect Lotus to improve upon the Toyota engine, not detune it. Perhaps they purposely sandbagged it to create margin for a higher model. I hate it when mfr does that.

power to weight ratio is very similar to the nsx, not to mention the mid-engine layout.

looks great. a lotus that you can daily drive and track.. who would've thunk it?

I love the cars Lotus makes, however, I do believe it needs a drop in weight. I was expecting this to come in around 2500 lbs. It needs another 100-150 horsepower to compete at that weight and that price point. I don't understand why they didn't supercharge it from the factory.

Quick thoughts.

Why 2+2? From the last pic the back seats look completely useless ecxept maybe to hold a couple grocery bags? Ditch em and save 400 pounds.

I love the looks.

Is kinda pricey (I read $70k+) and I thought I read somewhere else, not coming to the US.?.?.?

If the history of the Elise is anything to go by, a future supercharged version has been in the plans for the entire time, but for a few years later.

Anyway, I think it looks awesome. However, I too am a bit surprised by the weight. And at getting only 280 ps out of 3.5 liters.
