Since when does performance = track car. Most of the exotics are not ideal track cars. Too big, complicated, expensive, parts can be hard to get and there are too few few of them to build a significant body of knowledge concerning track tuning.

I'm glad you are a better engineer than those at Lotus. You should call Lotus and let them know your opinions on the handling of the car and save them from making a big mistake.

It is very hard to imagine that this will have the same raw driving experience that an Elise or Exige has.

The Evora is not supposed to have the raw driving experience or nimbleness of the Elise. Its a different car. With all your apparent marketing acumen I would have though you could figure out that Lotus is not trying to produce yet another Elise / Exige.
so what do you think? Not bad for my first flame on LotusTalk?
