Yeah - the combination of the extra height, tiny windows and fatter hips makes it look mahoosive.

The one I looked at was in Bismarck Grey which really didn't help.

Owning cars a mere 1,750mm wide is a positive advantage at times.

They seem a tad pricey at the mo.

I'm not knocking Lotus, it's just 50% depreciation makes a lot of difference...

Excellent, do post pictures and a more detailed review, I'd be very interested to hear your impressions as a longer term owner (always the real test of a car, when you have to live with it).

I saw a white Evora out by Hethel this w/end. Was a good looking vehicle - first time I have seen one on road. something lambo-esque about it. It had been a while since I had ben in that area of the country. Was enjoying some of the vehicles around Mildenhall, US left hookers everywhere.

I shall do - only 104 more sleeps!! I was rather fortunate today in being able to purchase EV10 RAS from the DVLA remarkably cheaply - here's hoping they market an S version....

Congratulations!

What spec. have you gone for?

Chris. Neil has a lovely burnt orange with only the sports pack that's lifting its skirt up at me!

2+0 Persian Blue with Oyster Interior. Sports pack, Premium pack, Technical Pack, Reversing Camera, Forged Anthracite wheels - everything apart from the sound imprint really. I do like gadgets and hope the weight saving from the rear seats will compensate!. Then all we need to do is fit the supercharger when available in a couple of years Still not sure my snowboard will fit though

Well, at least the forged wheels give you some weight back, too!

Can't you bolt your snowboard on the back like a spoiler or shark's fin and paint it Iranian blue too?
