We need more carmakers that ask what customers can do without. Almost all cars are filled with so much useless electronic tat that no one has asked for. Only the repair shops who make a fortune repairing it

White cars with black rims = Lovely <3

@n3rdbear I agree. It would definitely pull more people in to buying the car, due to the convenience of an auto trans. Although that doesn't matter to Lotus. They wan't their consumers to be that of race car enthusiasts. The Lotus is the definition of that. Plus, it would keep the ladies away from wrecking them ;).

the america build the hamburgher car big and stupid becouse are heavry don't are speed and the la benzina e cara sicche is better the european car

@joeirl I just found out there are custom shops that could rig it with power steering. As for the auto trans, Lotus should seriously consider it. They'd pull in a lot of buyers.

@n3rdbear It shames me to notice how lazy my country is. Try waking up at 4:45AM in a manual everyday of the week in large commutes on the highway; It's a blast. A car should be driven by it's driver, not by a computer. I suggest you really consider getting the car, don't reject it just because it want's to be driven like how a car should be driven.

@Abraxes911 your 635 has a 3.5l engine this one has a 1.8L :) So it is kinda impressive. And from 0-60 it will leave your 635 for dead.

Top speed 148? NO WAY. My 1985 635CSi can nearly do that. No need to make the 148 sound amazing, Jezza.

The only luxuries i need in a car is some gauges, a shift knob, a steering wheel, some pedals, and some seats :)

[n3rdbear]

@MrRectalRanger yup it is and it also needs power steering. I know the Evora has all the stuff I'm talking about but that thing is more expensive than the Exige and is a gas guzzler.

@n3rdbear

Yeah I mean moving your foot and your hand is just too much to ask for. I drive a manual as a DD and I couldn't imagine ever going back to an automatic.
