Post pictures of your Alfa next to a regular Evora
I'll start with my GT. You've got to go to southern France these days to spot the famous 'A057 EYU' registered one, which was well known for its camouflage. What looks like a vacation scene in fact is hard work for the crew travelling with the 2 Lotus. They are on a mission ...

i am becoming a fan of the evora - i still think the rear tail lights are hideous, to busy, and distract from the rest of the cars lines and theme. I am on the fence about the front end radiator vents, i still think something Tesla like would fit this cars styling better - jmo!
Lotus, ditch the stupid rear tail lights and go with some thing modular and more intergrated into the car. otherwise i think its brilliant, can't wait to see one in person, the performance (all things as a package - speed, handling, economy, usability, etc) look to be a perfect balance. although i still think lotus should pull the ole' porsche marketing trick of introducing a more powerfull car first, getting all those big numbers and comparisions in the magazines, and then offer the de-rated car in showrooms for bread and butter (more affordable) sales. and then follow up with other variants like lotus has planned. the mid range power car first lotus! rule one in marketing, get the #'s out there to sway public opinion (first impression!) "that car is fast too!" first, rather than trying to dig yourself out of the reputation of "yeah but its not fast enough" (i presonally would get the "slower more economical" car, but that because i would keep my elise as the hardcore option) rock on lotus!

Tough duty in the south of france....No?.... Evora looks kind of blotted next to the Exige. I have put on a few pounds myself lately. Sorry about the Alfa, I for one hope they never return to the US.

Alfa IS getting back into the US market with this:
 Expected deliveries to start in October. From what I understood all of them have been sold already.

That car -Evora- looks Great.. The Persian Blue looks fabulous!
Exige/Elise design is better, imo. Size wise, i don't care if Evora is alot bigger than Elise; I just like to see the new Espirit dimensions falls in between this two. |
