My point is are cars are show,that is a fact, As far as the Lotus go's Thay say if you look down and can't see your belt you will have a problem getting in and out of a lotus.This is not a problem for me.

As for the comments on the vents unlike Porsche and many other cars,there isn't a single thing on the car that is for just looks, it is there for performance reasons only.the car light at only 1850lbs it will smoke my boxster in every performance category.I would love to take you out on the track with me, based on your comments I can tell you have never been in a Lotus but obviously you an expert when it comes to the Lotus Elise.

As far as looks, I think to looks great, I like that you called it a praying mantis, it will eat my Boxster alive out on the track.

You don't have to be fat to hurt entering and exiting a vehicle, old and mangled will do, I'm 6'1" and weigh 215. In fact, getting in and out of the Boxster top down has ruined me for any hard top coupe. Even on cobbled days, I can get in the Boxster.

I have no doubt the Lotus will slice up a track, the new Evora got very low ratings on AC, which in a coupe during summer traffic is vital to me. The Cayman did beat it, however as I said you can tell it's a pretty cool ride. I have no "hate" for Lotus, the Elise style just isn't my next passion.

As for the "topic":

The overall performance of the machine will be Porsche, the sound as always will be secondary.
