Yea, I don't know jack about Lotus, just saw that on the British version of Top Gear. They don't like Lotus...or American cars for that matter.

Brought the car home from the dealer tonight. Man oh man, is it good. And it feels f'ing GOOD to be back in a Corvette.

I won't miss the Esprit. Between my Elise and my Corvette, I've got both the handling and power parts covered.

The lotus is a cool car and must be a blast to drive but they are a little to exotic for me. I love my vette and enjoy every second behind the wheel but I am not one that starves for attention and i could see the lotus just attracting way more attention than I would want. If that makes sense.

It does; I don't particularly mind the attention, but a friend of mine with a V8 Esprit is selling his because he is tired of not being able to go anywhere without drawing a crowd.
