- typical dry witty British humor.

But true nonetheless.

Love it. "...experience what it feels like to drive a sports car with true character"

Thx for sharing.

They hit the nail on the head with a good sense of humor. Very good.

Best part about getting the email is it pops up in your mailbox as from "Roger Becker."

Yes! My eyes popped as I saw the sender first!

Here is the complete message-

The new Lotus Evora marks a return to the sports cars you dreamt of when growing up. Porsches are nice cars, but they're everywhere these days, whereas with only 400 available over the next 12 months†, you definitely can't say that about the new Lotus Evora.

Along with 60 years of sports car heritage, the 3.5-litre V6 Evora comes with a 3-year manufacturer's warranty and residual values comparable to those of Porsche††.

And to show you exactly what we mean, we'd like to invite you to contact any of our authorised Evora dealers (you'll find their details inside the downloadable brochure) and experience what it feels like to drive a sports car with true character.

Click here so you don't miss out on your chance to own an Evora. However, if you're too late, we're sure you'll have no trouble finding something at Official Porsche Website

Yours sincerely,

Luke Bennett
Operations Director

Roger Becker
Vehicle Engineering Director
