Scottish Elises

Aw, I was expecting to see teasers shots spy shots have been kicking about for ages ( I thought on here but maybe just TLF)

The Evora 400.N/A Evoras just went up in price.

New front end looks great to me . The interior looks a big step up too. No word on price though?

I don't like the red leather everywhere. The "LOTUS" name over the sat nav screen looks like "we had to stick it somewhere and this was the only space left". Why not mould the screen binnacle to follow the lines of the dash? It looks like a halfords after market job.

Anyway, I am not their audience, so it matters not what I think

The Pistonheads article says that the existing NA & S will be dropped! Must be good news for residuals!

PH article reads with great enthusiasm. And credibility. This guy does appear to know his stuff.

Let's hear it for Sparcos!

I guess this new Evora gives the whole Lotus range "room to breathe". It's no Esprit, for sure, but would clearly spank one in most departments now. The Exige S has a more clearly defined niche, and if the Elise lives on for another 5 years, that's great too.

I will reserve judgement on what happens to Evora NA pricing for the moment. The important thing is, our favourite Meccano-Lego brand has a further stay of execution and that can only be a Good Thing.

Almost wish I was going to Geneva now!

NA was dropped before christmas.

Personally i think the NA residuals will still be very strong for some time.

We'll see. And whilst I'm clearly biased now, the NA is no bloody slouch.
