Some pictures from the local garage here in Scotland for anyone who hasn't seen it yet

X7LDA · 06-24-2009, 02:35 PM

2010 Exige S details (European)

Just noticed this! doh!

Minnis · 06-24-2009, 02:37 PM

Very sweet

Sweet Adrenaline · 06-24-2009, 03:30 PM

Wow!
Now, that is eye candy!

Amarao · 06-24-2009, 05:24 PM

I'm not a fan of the new front end, however I do see a few Astons in the background of the last pic.

Vishus_1 · 06-24-2009, 05:43 PM

Not liking the front end at all. The spoiler/wing looked better on the Geneva GT3 show car since it was wider in the rear - the spoiler on this only narrows the car even more. This is not cohesive at all.

This looks like a European production car in Graphite Gray.

So does this mean Lotus is no longer building 2009's?

Front end looks OK, but the wing doesn't thrill me. Looks like it would be a real PITA to get to the boot to store the breifcase.

Hello Kitty · 06-24-2009, 06:59 PM

I think the new gt3 wing looks too much like the celica wing :

ExoticHottie · 06-24-2009, 07:14 PM

Whew - thought they were gonna ruin it. Still looks good. Can't say I like it better, but I like it. The only advantage to that wing is that I'm sure it doesn't flop around even on smooth roads like the previous one.

smokin orange · 06-24-2009, 08:39 PM

I like all of it. eye candy for sure

chrisc9867 · 06-24-2009, 10:34 PM

dang, sexy

lotusforsale · 06-25-2009, 02:41 AM

I like it in that color, even the front. Didn't care so much for it in the white I've seend.

breinhar · 06-25-2009, 06:42 AM

I am assuming the new wing generates more downforce than the old. Wonder how much more.

I also agree with lotusforsale, I didnt like the white but I like this a little better. It makes me wonder how it would look with the new front openins but the old spliter, I think that would look best.

ACE51 · 06-25-2009, 06:46 AM

yesss interior shots, looks the same as the 08s kinda

the cup thong looks recessed, does that thing fold in?

MpBrady7 · 06-25-2009, 06:55 AM

I have to admit that when I first saw pictures of the 2010 I hated everything about it! I'm still not a huge fan but the front end doesn't look as bad as I had originally thought.

+1

I load the boot with tools, part, etc when going to track days... looks like even seeing into the back of the boot would be difficult with the wing there...

HATE the design updates, just HATE them...the performance better be stellar for the ugliness they imposed.

AgentTripleX · 06-25-2009, 07:10 AM

The front end is too busy for my tastes.

mrcarcrazy · 06-25-2009, 07:31 AM

I like..but with old splitter.

not a fan of wing. Exige trunks are already worthless enough, why make it worse?

ACE51 · 06-25-2009, 07:56 AM

+1 how the heck do you get stuff in the boot. what a PITA
