When does the Paris motor show start?

Can't wait to see what they unveil, I might even pop over for a look myself.

Hats off to them, we all moan about manufacturers churning out dull crap or cutting back.

Maybe I'm twisted but I'd sooner have this than a prancing horse on the bonnet. Guess you're either a lotus person or not!
True enough; but that makes you & me. After all, I own a supercar with the ultimate non-badge.

Hardly enough to make a roaring success though.

I hope I'm wrong...

Yawn...

The styling is as grey and indifferent as the colour they've 'painted' it.

It's little more than pastiche of contemporary design cues; from the rear diffuser and the tacky exhaust exit to the wheels and mirrors - I've seen 'em all before.
Maybe you'd prefer it in red?



or...




Quite like the red myself.

He means his NSX.

Whilst the S2000 is a super car, it ain't no supercar.

Ah right, no doubt about an NSX being a supercar.

No doubt about an S2000 being a super car either.

Spend a few minutes painting a Lotus red for a Lotus thread, and you all go on about poxy Hondas.
