Default Five new Lotus models revealed... they look almost the same?!

http://www.pistonheads.com/lotus/def...?storyId=22569

Looks like the designers are either a bit lazy or are a bit strapped for cash to design completely different models... the new Esprit looks brilliant.


Cheers,
Grant

Thats because the Exige is the Hardcore trackday version of the Elise.

If they pull them off as well as the Evora I think some of the other manufacturers may be losing a few sales

Bold moves from Lotus, hope it works out for them!

the Esprit looks fantastic but too much like a gallardo imo
the new line up remind's me of current porsche models all looking very similar and all having the same look
