Me too.I want that Lotus
Seems like a great value "if you win the lottery"
Haha. Funny the only good time I had at the autoshow was at this tiny 3 car Lotus display. They had the new electra, a "not sure" car, and the Emira which I love but not gonna happen ever.
But the guy next to me heard me telling my dad about them, and he said he has a Lotus Elise but can't figure out what the car in the middle was. I was like "exige?' he said no, it's too big, my Elise is quite smaller than this..............I think it's a Europa which is kind of rare to see over here.
And we talked a bit more and it was a cool conversation.
Um, no…!
