if they drag it out, its like the "fiero" all over again - by the time its kick ass, nobody cares anymore!

Well, as long as the car doesnt get a rep for catching on fire...I dont think it would be anything like the Fiero. Fiero never really improved on power - you had only 2 choices - none or a little.

Let's not get so carried away with what's a few 10ths faster or has more horsepower. How about the uniqueness of Lotus, its special history, its laser line steering feel etc. Evora will start out as a very sexy alternative for all of us who think the 911 is dated looking regardless of its performance, or for those of us that love British style instead of the Germans etc. I didn't buy my Lotus to be the fastest guy on the block (but I am the coolest!!, wife kids me if she ever died, I'd just need to go out in the Lotus and give rides till I found what I wanted for a replacement). I thinks its great to see the company is doing well and is on a controlled growth curve!!
