what really matters is if you can stick a couple chicks in the back, then you're golden.

That's me and at 5'10" and 17.5st (erm, 105kgs, 230lb) I need to go on a diet and I won't fit in the back of many cars, 911's are a no go too!

It in the bottom right corner of the color chart. You can even see that it says Krypton Green.

Since July 31, there are now 225 registered members and 664 forum posts. Not bad for a month an a half.

It also reminds me of Elisetalk circa 2003/2004. Not to mention, I don't think as many people on Lotustalk are really interested in the Evora.

I just dont like the idea of a 2+2 period. My dad has an aston martin db7 vantage volante and the back seats never get used for seating. They would work for kids and maybe a very small woman, but just look at those pics that girl has barely any room and you can tell the driver has the front seat scooted up pretty far. Well at least there's something easy to lose weight from it

We only saw that pic in small size, looked like yellow and couldnt read the wording. The car is back in our good graces now that we can get our proper color (still waiting for the big Hp. version) was worried we had another fight on our hands over paint

I heard there's going to be a seater version and chances are, the convertible will only be a 2 seater.

If you want a two seater and less weight then get an Exige or Elise. Some of us need the 2+2 to take our kids in occassionally.

looks like you are having a fun time trying.

Looking foward to your driving impressions of the car when you get to take it for a spin.
