Lotus fans?

[Malmstrom]

I've had a strong love of Lotus for as long as I've been an enthusiast. In fact, it was seeing the newly redesigned Elise that was coming over to America in 2004 that really got me into cars. Through the years, I found that very few people appreciate Lotus the way that I feel they deserve to be appreciated. Perhaps it's just the American bias of "more power = better".

Anyway, I'm just looking for people who are like-minded when it comes to Lotus.

Lotus is a nice manufacturer or fine cars but not nearly as high as some. Their cars are extremely unique, quick and good looking but just aren't as good as the likes of Ferrari's, Aston's or that sort of area. I guess this is why they've decided to come out with more different cars and expand their range.

 

Still take a photo of one when I see them though ;)

'nuff said. :drool:

I've always liked Lotus. Although I'm not sure where they're headed with the Evora, meh, maybe the international design will appeal to more people than the Elise/Exige did. Not saying anything against the Evora, but Lotus should've been like TVR. Not changing their cars' shape whatever people say.

I'm a huge Lotus fan. Favourites would be the S2&3 Elise/Exige, Evora, and old Esprits. Black S2 Exige is virtually 100% perfect. You can keep your Porsches...:D

You can keep your Porsches...:D

 

You what ?

 

 

Sorry no offense to Lotus and their Unique cars but it cannot compare with the precise engineering of a Porsche. Especially this one since its in the Exige's class as far as I am concerned ;)

[Lambo Llama]

I actually prefer the Exige/old Esprit/Evora to that.

Just.

One of those in grey with orange detailing would be pretty hard to go past...:thumbsup:

But TVR went bust and Lotus are still going. Saying that I prefer TVR :)

 

And Lotus are not in Ferrari and Lambourgini range, they cost half as much, base level 911 maybe.

Lotus lovers should keep an eye on the Esprit and the Elan concept cars, I've read a few articles stating Lotus is sending them back to the drawing boards after hearing from enough people the cars look too much like each other.

this is the best lotus ever made :drool:

Well I have been a passenger in both the Elise and Exige and sat in the Europa S and I love them. :D

Today i'm more of a lotus fan than a lamborghini fan. I'm just too lazy to change my avatar. :tdance:

I love Lotus (the company) Lotii (the cars), but am I alone in thinking that what Dany Bahar is doing now is going completely against what Colin Chapman would've done if he were still among us?

[Iced_Bullet]

You what ?

What ARE you on about?! Lotuses are made in good old Norfolk ;) Where else would you go for high precision engineering?! Germany?! Pah.... :lol:

[Malmstrom]

I agree totally. While I wouldn't mind more of a supercar as much as the others, I think they should stick with what they have.

Dany Bahar is, in his own words, "not a car guy." However, he did (IIRC) work as the CEO of Red Bull, and that, like it or not, could help Lotus thrive a lot more than a car guy CEO.
