I think it looks ok, not as progressive as I would have hoped but not really that bland either. Maybe in the flesh it look better, thats how I was won over on the Elise.

What was the Carlton based on?

The Carlton was baesd... on the Carlton.

Yes, had to do it.

The engine is presumed to be a Volvo derived 3.5l V6 producing 280-290bhp.

Wasn't it a Toyota V6?

You are too kind.

I heard Toyota V6 as well. All for Toyotas and everything, but that's gotta be pretty embarrassing. You go to the track parking lot after kicking a bit of ass. And you see flat 6 Porsches, and V8 and V12 Mercedes Benz AMGs. And then you pull up in your Toyota engined Lotus.

anyone else think the name eagle is kinda crap? never really liked anything named eagle. i understand it fits with the E thing, but they could have picked something better.

The interior seems nice enough - having the features required while still appearing to be light & elegant.

However, I get the feeling the shape itself is very familiar.....the junction between rear screen & side windows is very reminiscant of the old M250 concept from a while back, albeit with a thinner gap. in fact much of the car reminds me of that concept, albeit with modern surfacing. but the basic proportions are there. and they were both silver.

It kind of already looks dated.

Yep it was the Talbot Sunbeam Lotus. Unassuming supermini with a twin cam 16 valve 2.2-litre Lotus engine shoehorned in.

damn i love that thing. i hope they do something like that again.

M250, thats what I was thinking but couldn't put a name to the car. I like it. I prefer the back to the front though.

Moahahahahahaha!
Damn that's sexy!

[Dino Scuderia]

Evora? Not any better than Eagle...or is Evora a translation?

Dumb 'E' naming system.

[IBrake4Rainbows]

According to Wikipedia, it's a Portuguese City.

what a Fantastic thing to name your new sports car after. I think.

Maybe not.

[Ferrer]

Isn't it the name of a brasilian singer too?

I think I prefer Eagle.
