I know it's all superfluous about the elegance of a showroom, etc... but I have to admit that I was a bit awestruck by Galpin's showroom! It's light, bright and it has it's own Starbucks!
As someone else wrote, Galpin is creating an area exclusive for Lotus deliveries on their 2nd floor. There will be a lighted turntable and the Elise will be driven onto it for delivery. The drawing shows a lounge with fireplace immediately before the turntable. It appears that the Lotus will be sharing the upper floor with Jaguar and Aston Martin. (Volvo and Lincoln Mercury cars are on the main floor.)
On the main floor next to the Starbucks, Galpin has a game room for children complete with two sets of game paddles for (I think) Xboxes. And in the same area is the apparel and parts boutiques, cashier and rental car counters.
Admittedly, I couldn't help but envision the excitement and glamor associated with taking delivery of an Elise in that showroom! It's got to be that "Secret Life of Walter Mitty" side of me coming out...
