    I rather like the Bronze one too.

    They really should state where all these different pics came from. Darn websites/CAR magazine/carsguide,

    Only the front though...not the orange one either.
    The second picture is obviously from CarsGuide but I have to say the animation looks better than the other pictures.

    Picture 4 in post 1 looks exactly like a Gallardo.

    Not only that, not as aerodynamic.

    the first pic is porshe mated with lambo and elise, the side vents give it away
    the others are even diffrent
    Once fanboyism infects you it impares all your judgement.
    It's like being drunk, you lack common sense and everyone laughs at you.

    Er the Europa wasnt all that good so I don't feel we are missing out on much and the Esprit is probably going to come here. Is it Lotus's own engine this time though?

    The Europa has 2-litre turbocharged GM engine. And the Esprit is rumoured to have a BMW V8.

    In the latest Evo, they talk to Lotus CEO Mike Kimberley about plans, suggesting that the Eagle will have a Toyota-sourced V6, whilst the Esprit may use an Aston Martin V8, after Lotus' assistance in developing alloy components.

    Still two years to go...

    What's the Eagle?

    Yes that's too much time...

    But I think the Aston V8 is a good move, since it's a more charismatic engine than the BMW V8 and slitghly more powerful too.

    Like 2ndCC, what's the Eagle? The Elise Mk III?
