Clarkson is just reiterating what people outside these boards may say abotu the s2000's interior. I mean, we've discussed this in length as of late about the use of plastics and what not in the interior. Not to say that it's bad, it's just not... Audi esque.
Anyway, love the whole concept of the evora, and I'm glad that they seem to have got it right. I applaud their guts for using a humdrum camry v6 vs. developing and overengineering an engine to essentially achieve the same output. I mean, what would be the point of that? Engines have made the power at any level for decades, I mean GM still manages to get a pushrod to pass EPA standards, no point in making a crazy engine for somethign that will sell for under 100K. Upwards of that, who cares.
I'm sure that the camry engine is tweaked just like the 2zz in the elise/exiges, I just hope the rest of the car can keep up in terms of longetivity as I heard of the adhesion stuff undoing on the elises.
The price will make or break this car, if they sell it for vette or a lil more money, it should be a homerun, if they sell it for porsche cayman+ money... hmm it'd be a good experiment.
