They will easy meet those expectations. That is what is all about. Expectations.

The initial waves will be bought up by the serious Looky@Me crowd and a parcel of The Crazy Rabid. You might actually get a few serious Lotus drivers in there somewhere... but not that many to start.

This newest Lotus is just dying for a nickname!

Which I completely agree with. They will pick up the more serious crowd with later versions as they come along. I don't think Lotus is going to have a problem selling this car.

I've seen 2 Evoras so far and I think the skittle colors will work best - I thought I might like the Black/Black but the complexities of the shape seemed lost in the Black one I saw. Dealers near me (London) just got their 1st demonstrator on Sat, - it's aqua marine coloured with cream (oyster?) interior - It reminds me of a shark -really low and very mean looking - MUCH sexier than in the pictures.
Bell and Colville have a waiting list for a weekend test drive and there are the usual parasites selling their build slots for £5k in the Sunday Times.
Build slots are currently 4/5 months and lengthening!!!
There is a yellow one in Car magazine and that color really is growing on me. Last 2 lotuses were CO but the fat santa's video has kind of put me off.
