Interesting news, but just looking at it, it looks to me like red ink....

What segment of the market is it supposed to be targeting, and what is going to make it stand above the competition? It isn't totally ugly, and 2200lbs is quite nice...but I still can't say it is cuts a very intimidating image either!

It reminds me of that Vauxhall VX or whatever it was from a few years ago. (we don't have them in the US)

Frankly, I think it's just plain. Nothing special. Acutally, it looks a little like an Acura (Honda) RS.

Yep, those are some RS-y looking headlamps....is Lotus back to its bin-robbing ways??? :P

So do you have to put your toy away for a nap there, or are you driving year round? We have like 6" of snow today...ugh. I'll see mine again 'bout May if I am lucky :?
