Hi all.
I've been a fan of Lotus for quite some time. I had a 1997 Esprit that I adored.
I now have a 2006 Porsche Carrera C2S Cabriolet which I adore as well. It's mint, with only 3,100 miles. It's my toy car of course (C63 is my DD).
I stopped by a Lotus dealer yesterday just to see an Exige S in person. The Exige was in the showroom (2007, Red, with Touring Pack and Traction Control as options, 100 miles, never titled). The dealer saw my Porsche and offered me a 1 for 1 trade (we just swap titles, no tax implication).
I'm a little torn. I love my Porsche. It's fast, comfortable, sounds incredible--but just not flashy enough for me, and I do like more of the "race car" feel. I drove a 2008 supercharged Elise to compare (as again, the Exige was on the showroom and it would take too long to get it out). I loved the seating position, feel of the car, and the "exoticness". But I was not wow'd by it.
This is of course a very personal decision to make, but I'm curious what the group here would say: trade my Porsche for a 2007 Exige S?
