If I want to go in this direction, I'll take a Gallardo.

@hondaciviccoupe10 if you look at the Esprit in 76 then in 2004 you'll see it wasn't timeless but evolved into a completely different car! But theres been no evolution since '04 because unlike Lamborghini and Porsche Lotus haven't been making a car at that high end pricepoint. This car is no more out of place than the original italian designed S1 Esprit. It's not an Elise.

@rebelheart1968 You mean like the original Esprit designed by an Italian? It couldn't have looked less like a british car and the Lotus cars before it.

looks like a toyota mr2 '99

As far as styling is concerned. It doesn't look like a new Esprit. It looks more like what an all new Acura NSX would look like.

I still like the old Lotus Esprit. It was timeless. I wish they didn't change the styling so drastically. With Lamborghini, the styling changes from the Countach to the Diablo to the Murcielago was evolutionary. You knew it was a Lamborghini. Porsche is the same.

Unfortunately. this Esprit has nothing in common with the old Esprit.

only Lotus can make the esprit, and design a car the is truly a legand, even the 2003 -04 last models still hold their value in status.. if you probably figured out, I have a 2003 MY.. :-) I love it, hard to maintian if you dont know anyone.

[rebelheart1968]

Pretty car. But too many references to Lamborghini and Ferrari. A bit overstyled in my opinion. I miss the "British-ness" of what made the Lotus unique unto itself.
