Okay, I know this will all be conjecture, but I've been pondering it... Do you think that the Eagle/Ethos will outperform the Exige S? I would surmise that concessions were made to add more interior room (and weight), but will that be offset by the extra horsepower?

Lotus has had a few years to refine the innovations that made the Elise platform such an incredible performer. Is it possible that they've stepped it up a notch or will this just be a bigger car that will get schooled by its older yet smaller sisters?
